The Love of their mothers
Is strong to command;
The fame of their fathers
Is might to their hand.
Much suffering shall cleanse thee;
But thou through the flood
Shalt win to Salvation,
To Beauty through blood.
Up, careless, awake!
Ye peacemakers, fight!
England stands for Honour:
God defend the Right!
ROBERT BRIDGES,
Poet Laureate
