33 Have Faith ; it burns Through present grief, Thitherward undoubting turns All our belief.
We will win back More than of old : All that we lost and lack A thousandfold.
SERVICE.
I.
HO would be free, but he were free to serve ?
Who free to serve, who serveth not by right ?
Let those shamed voices in our midst be quite Henceforward dumb, which did so long un* nerve ^ Our counsel. Aye, what punishment deserve They who brought England near too low to fight ?
Let them behold her, in their own desp...ite Arming for battle, and conscience^stricken swerve Into obscurity. There should they lie, Cowering from the light, who bade us buy disgrace.
But are they dumb, and do they shun man's eye ?
Nay, still they do pretend things noble base ; Still would they drag thee back, their own country.
Hear them not, England ! Be hard and stern of face, 34 II.
Stand we not, who were blind, now open-eyed ? Bear we not burdens now, that then we scorned ? Take we not in our hands, as something mourned No more in giving, Youth's inexchangeable pride ?
