“THE TWO IDEALS.”
Now with the full year Memory holds her tryst, Heavy with such a tale of bitter loss As never Earth has suffered since the Christ Hung for us on the Cross. If God, O Kaiser, makes the vision plain; Gives you on some lone Calvary to see The Man of Sorrows who endured the pain And d:ed to set us fr*e — How will you face beneath its crown of thorn That figure stark against the smoking skies, The arms , outstretched, the sacred head forlorn, And those reproachful ey^s? How dare confront the false quest with the true? Or think what gulfs between the ideals lie Of Him Who died that men might liv*- and you Who live that men may die?
