Страница 16 - Neutrality is no longer feasible or desirable where the peace of the world is involved and the freedom of its peoples, and the menace to that peace and freedom lies in the existence of autocratic governments backed by organized force which is controlled wholly by their will, not by the will of their people. We have seen the last of neutrality in such circumstances.
Страница 58 - Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer, and the battle flags were furl'd In the Parliament of man, the Federation of the world.
Страница 26 - We know thee most, we love thee best, For art thou not of British blood? Should war's mad blast again be blown, Permit not thou the tyrant powers To fight thy mother here alone, But let thy broadsides roar with ours. Hands all round! God the tyrant's cause confound!

Страница 18 - Eternal Peace, whose word of old In the great basins poured the main, And shut within their rocky fold The unnumbered flocks of ocean's plain : O hear us ! while the billows roar, For those who sail from shore to shore. Great God, whose path upon the deep Is still unknown, but who didst keep Thine ancient people, when the wind And Egypt followed fast behind ; 0 hear us, when our prayer to thee Ascends for those we love at sea.
Страница 58 - Labour and Justice now shall have their way, And in a League of Peace — God grant we may — Transform the earth, not patch up the old plan. Sure is our hope since he who led your nation Spake for mankind, and ye arose in awe Of that high call to work the world's salvation; Clearing your minds of all estranging blindness In the vision of Beauty and the Spirit's law, Freedom and Honour and sweet Lovingkindness.
Страница 46 - ... brothers fighting in Germany's armies. For a time my reason as well as my heart was with Germany's cause, and even after my reason would no longer let me hope for Germany's triumph, for a time my heart was still rebelliously thrilled at the news of a German victory. So, perhaps, I have a right to speak. I have stood on Germany's side, I have walked in the valley of the shadow of neutrality, I have stood and I now stand irrevocably with the cause of the Allies which, thank God, is now the cause...
Страница 3 - ... man, Until the singing rang across the bay; And soon in other anchored ships the men Joined in the singing with clear throats, until The farm-boy heard it up the windy glen, Above the noise of sheep-bells on the hill. Over the water came the lifted song Blind pieces in a mighty game we swing; Life's battle is a conquest for the strong; The meaning shows in the defeated thing.
Страница 38 - He's gone. I do not understand. I only know That as he turned to go And waved his hand, In his young eyes a sudden glory shone: And I was dazzled by a sunset glow, And he was gone.
Страница 62 - HOW will it seem when Peace comes back once more, After these desperate days of shattering pain? How will it be with all of us again. When hushed forever is the thunder of War? There still are primroses by many a shore; And still there bloom, in many a lovely lane, Hawthorn and lilacs; and the roses' stain Is red against full many a garden door.
