" I will empty my heart of the bitterness, hating none. " And sweetness filled her brave With a vision of understanding beyond the hour That knelled to the waiting grave.
They bound her eyes, but she stood as if she shone.
The rifles it was that shook When the hoarse command rang out. They could not endure That last, that defenceless look.
76 THE CAUSE */ And the officer strode and pistolled her surely, ashamed That men, seasoned in blood, Should quail at a woman, only a woman, dead As a flower... stamped in the mud.
And now that the deed was securely done, in the night When none had known her fate, They answered those that had striven for her, day by day : "It is over, you come too late. " And with many words and sorrowful-phrased excuse Argued their German right To kill, most legally ; hard though the duty be, The law must assert its might.
Only a woman ! yet she had pity on them, The victim offered slain To the gods of fear that they worship. Leave them there, Red hands, to clutch their gain.
