Of bully Power, whose heart of insult flings

Off for the roar of arms the appeal that clings

And lifts a tearful, prayerful pitiful face

Up from his brutal feet: this shrine where grace

Lays woman's life for every sacrifice—

To him so little, yet of what pure price,

Her all, being all her all for love!—her soul

Life, honor, earth and firmamental whole

Of God's glad universe; stars, moon and sun;

Creation, death; life ended, life begun.
