WHAT HAS ENGLAND DONE?
(This is the reply of an American poet to a question often heard in the United States.)
Strange, that in this great hour, when Righteousness
Has won her war upon Hypocrisy,
That some there be who, lost in littleness,
And mindful of an ancient grudge, can ask:
"Now, what has England done to win this war?"
We think we see her smile that English smile,
And shrug a lazy shoulder and—just smile.
