To The Victors Belong The Spoils!
By MADELEINE LUCETTE RYLEY.
[From King Albert's Book.]
The Victor true is he who conquers fear,
Who knows no time save now—no place but here.
Who counts no cost—who only plays the game.
To him shall go the prize—Immortal Fame!
To the illustrious ruler and his gallant little nation, whose heroism and bravery are surely unparalleled in the whole of our world's history, I bow my head in respectful homage.
