Has not been expunged by the War.

When the world with its horrors still stunned is

And waits for vast hopes to come true,

What boots it if delegates' undies

Are scarlet or blue?

All facts of those delegates' labours

I'm ready to read with a zest,

And they must, like myself and my neighbours,

I know, have their moments of rest;

I do not begrudge them their pleasures,
