FRANCE
Within the realm of Death The indignant dead who nurtured France, Who gave her life and breath t And forged her lance, LTeared for a moment when she cried, As one who had been crucified; But now they know full well ! Her mighty soul, and dwell Where fear 6hall not abide. Deep in the sacred shadow now Their spirits, reinforced by all Who, faithful to their vow, Fell as the brave should fall, Aro most content: for they Share France with France's noblest dead Who speak of what they know— The lifted darkness and tho day Now breaking a3 the shadows go, The fear that broke, the fear-that fled. —Morley Eoberts, in the "Westminster Gazette."
