LIEGE
Betwixt the foe and France was she, France t'he immortal; France the Free, The foe like one vast living seaDrew nigh. ' He dreamed, that none his tide would . stay ; ; But when he bade her to make way She, through her cannon answered, "Nay, Not I." No' tremor and no fear she showed; She held the pass, she barred the road While Dcatii's unsleeping feet bestrode The ground. So long as deeds of noblest worth Arc sung' 'mid joy and tears and mirth, Her glory shall to the ends of oarth ■ Eesound.
Watched by a world that yearned to aid, Lonely she stood, but undismayed, Resplendent was the part she played, And pure.
Praised be her heroes, proud her sonB; She throw her souls into tho guns. Her name shall with the loveliest ones Endure. —William Watson, in the "Daily Chronicle."
