    “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,

    With my mouth thus, in my heart
    Do I play a double part.”

    Amid the awe that hushes all,
    And speak the anguish of a land
    That shook with horror at thy fall.”

    How gushed the life-blood of her brave—
    Gushed, warm with hope and courage yet,
    Upon the soil they fought to save.”
