AN APPEAL

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!"
