C. night And the bugles shrilled at dawn, And the stalwart brothers rose and sped Where the darkening host rolled on, When sharp from the tortured nations Came the cry for brain and hand, Did you march with the hurrying he roes Did you answer the call of the Land ? When- the days were big and stirring And the thrill was in the air. When the League of Man was rising Though the clouds were everywhere. Did you catch the beauteous Vision Dawning through the sky of pain? Did you watch the sea-lights beckon ing To your place along the Aisne? Never more in ah the ages Will such royal summons come As that call ^that woke the nations At the rattle of the drum. When the shrill alarm was sounded That the foe was breaking through. And the night was closing over. Brother, sister, where were you? When the World of light and beauty Paused and staggered from her goal. Did you round the freeman’s bullet For that battle for the Soul? Did you wind the needed linen? Reach down deep and give and give Did you shout the passing thousands That the dying lands might live? I canvass the golden cities Where the scatheless towers stand; I silence the sounding places; I sdarch through the fruitful land. Where the rising decks strained sea ward. Did you labor, stript and brown? In the double furrow round the Pe'-’, Did you watch the sun go down? Granite shafts are over yonder Soaring up the peaceful blue; Arch on arch with bronzed statues Tell what clasped hands can do. Did you watch the ships returning. Proud to know he took his chance? Does your moistened eye go seaward When you say “the soil of Frano'-’ I am He that calls the nations Tip the heights since time began; 1 am She that holds the balance For the pouring days of man;' And I write in the Book of the Ages That the V/orld may see and know. Where were you when the Hun came .gleaming In the pride of his terrible blow?
