NOT A VISION, BUT A REALITY
I hear again that fearful cry,
"Let loose the dogs of agar,"
I see earth red with blood of slaiia,
Both friends and foes they, are,
I hear the roll of ,the. battle's Arum,
And bugle's call from far,
I see me.' Marching rank by rank,
All nrarshalled out for war,
I see our owe brave soldiers,
Who join talent in the fight
For God for Ming and. Country,
Ana also for the right.
I hear' the roar from cannons mouth
And loss ,of the bullets' sped;
IIoc), to sky, it has lost its i?ise,
A•nd its color, the color of lead;;
For smoke of battle blots out the sun
And at night the moon and stars
Seine down on the battle's gory
Red as the planet Mars.
0 Lord of Hosts, look down from
heaved
And bid this carnage cease,
That soon o'er earth's most fruitful
fields
May fly the Dave of Peace.
