THE RED CROSS SPIRIT SPEAKS
By JOHN H. FINLEY.
I kneel behind,the oldicrs trench
I walk with ihambltV smsar and atench
f The dead I mourn.
I bear the stretcher and I band
O'er Sammy, Pierre and Jack and mend
What Bhell have torn.
I go wherever men may dare, I f o wherever woman!
care
And love can live.
Wherever strength and skill can bring
Surcease to human suffering
Or solace give.
I am your pennies and your pounds;
I am your bodies on their rounds
Of pain afar;
I am you, doing what you would .
If you were only where you could
Your avatar.
The cross which on my arm I wear,
The flag which o'er my breast I bear,
Is but the sign
Of what you'd sacrifice for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war's red line.
