Eli and Sibyl Jones, Their Life and Work

by Rufus M. Jones

And trusting God against the universe;

Are doomed to watch a strife we may not share

With other weapons than a patriot's prayer;

"Yet owning with full hearts and moistened eyes,

The awful beauty of self-sacrifice,

And wrung by keenest sympathy for all

Who give their loved ones for the living wall

'Twixt law and treason."

[8] In tracing out the course of these travels I have used the spelling given in Bradley's Atlas of the World.
