AUGUST 1914

God said, “Men have forgotten Me;
The souls that sleep shall wake again,
And blinded eyes must learn to see.”

So since redemption comes through pain
He smote the earth with chastening rod,
And brought Destruction’s lurid reign;

But where His desolation trod
The people in their agony
Despairing cried, “There is no God.”

ST. PANCRAS STATION, AUGUST 1915

One long, sweet kiss pressed close upon my lips,
One moment’s rest on your swift-beating heart,
And all was over, for the hour had come
For us to part.
