ARMAGEDDON

Not by the hearing of tho ear we catch its boiling sound, No gun from seaward ever breaks the peace that laps us round, Yot in our hearts wo hear it as, forth in thunder hurled, The roar of Armageddon is borne across the world. Mors fateful voice earth never heard since in her ancient prime Her trembling continents upheaved from out the ocean slime, 'Mid shocks of giant billows and earthquakes'' hollow boom, And tho crash of belching praters that veiled tho skies in gloom. Then in a mighty labour, with many a. pang aad throe, Was born amid tho thunders, the kindly earth wo know, But now is a deadlier travail, and the nations strain to see I Through the smoke of Armageddon, the birth of the world to be. W? hear it! Aye, we hear it! N&ughlt else is there to hear!, It strikes its deep pulsations within the deepest ear — This boom of a. man-made thunder from the pit of maji-made hell, With the shriek of a nation's anger In every bursting shell— These shouts of charging legions—innumerable groan 6— Crashes of crumbling cities, oaths, clamours, children's moans— Half-stifled wails of women—all blent and blurred and whirled In the roar of Armageddon, abroad upon the world. We hear it! Aye, we heart it! We have heard it many a day! Gone is the first wild rapture and paasion of the fray! Heart weary of its booming, we fain would bid it ceaseBut we will not sell our honour for a Satan's bribe of peace.! By the God who made our England the mistress of the sea, Aid set- her in the vanguard of th'e armies of the free! By the saint who slew the dragon! wo fight to our latest breath Till the roax of Armageddon dies—with the dragon's death. J. GIBSON SMITH. Wellington, June, 1915. (
