[83] THOUGHTS AS THEY CAME A TRIBUTE TO THE RED CROSS Was ever Mother-Love more truly shown, Or more of pity felt in tender heart ?With every fiber of her feelings torn, And into action her whole being brought. Honor to Thee! Great Mother of the World! Homage we yield, where tis so richly due ;And for the speechless lips and eyes now closed, We say for them—what they would say to you. You—who gave food and healing to the fresh-made Mother-Care to win them back to health; Or—if a call from out the Great Beyond,A Mother-Touch to close the ej^es in death. Ready—and alwaj^s—with your outstretched arms— To welcome give and tenderness bestow;Watching, through thrilling hours of wars alarms. The threatening coming of a brutal foe. [84].

Our homes to save; For us they fell! Our honor to grand Old Glory from each hilltop wave, And Peace—a World-wide Peace—be well enrolled. We think theyd say—these righteous souls now gone—Could hands but clasp and lips repeat the thought, We think theyd say—this great and noble throng—Our lives we gave! Be it not said—for naught! Let us have Peace—based not on One-Man Power,Nor yet on Militant and Autocratic Might; Let us have Peace! To each man rightful dower,Of Law—not License—under Freedoms Light. Under its torch, and for its cause we died; Under its torch, the Stars and Stripes you! Great Mother! Tis with righteous pride We say—your heroism helped redeem the World.
