THE STRENGTH OF UNION.
An Appeal for Munitions.
June 28, 1915.
What is it that has paralysed the hands
Of mighty England? Is her heart not true?
Has she set sordid lucre in her view,
And turn'd a deaf ear to the high demands
Of Honour, Justice, Duty? Yet she stands
Idly, while despots to the death pursue
Her faithful ally, fighting bravely too,
And rallying in retreat her broken bands!
Of mighty England? Is her heart not true?
Has she set sordid lucre in her view,
And turn'd a deaf ear to the high demands
Of Honour, Justice, Duty? Yet she stands
Idly, while despots to the death pursue
Her faithful ally, fighting bravely too,
And rallying in retreat her broken bands!
Arouse thee, England! ere the die be cast
That may decide thy doom! Union is strength
Not in the field alone—and there thou hast
Fail'd never yet: wilt thou then fail at length?
That may decide thy doom! Union is strength
Not in the field alone—and there thou hast
Fail'd never yet: wilt thou then fail at length?
England is safe, and nought shall make her rue
If to herself at home she prove but true!
If to herself at home she prove but true!
