214 Arm, that the weak and helpless may be heard!—

Yea, that the hearts of men may still be stirred

To Christ's humanity!

From fields of horror, blood-soaked, eloquent,

From shrines of beauty, waste and desecrate,

From unoffending lips and innocent,

The cry of anguish and of hope is rent:—

"England! be not too late!"
