THE SOLITARY WAN
Humbled by the large events Of war, and all its needs,, I put away private intents And personal greeds. Yes, I am lost, but well content; Obscure, a cancelled soul, To answer with the regiment At the calling of the roll. The roll call! I can hear it now Ring round our threatened coast, The challenge to the bully's blow, The signal to the lost. The lost of Europe! For their sakes I and my British, kind Freedom resign till freedom wakes In each despairing mind.
