SOUND AND FURY AT VERDUN.

May 15, 1916.
Let the blind savage rage and smite—
The adamantine wall
That rises from Eternal Right
Was never doom'd to fall.
Ye sons of God! in patience wait;
It is the suicide of Hate!
Safe in the cave the prophet sat
While Chaos hurtled by;
The power of God was not in that,
Nor in the Whirlwind's cry;
But in “the still small voice,” which made
All things, and is by all obey'd!
