 | Christmas Roses for Nineteen-Hundred and Fourteen |  |

Lord Roberts.
Great, in a day of teeming littlenesses;Clear-visioned, in a day of clouds and gloom;
Strong, in a day of weakness and distresses;
In days of lightness, earnest as the Doom!
Thy name all England and her Empire blesses,
Whose sons shall make their Mecca of thy tomb.
