THE ALARM
Get off your downy cots of case,
There’s work that must Ik
done.
Great danger’s riding on the
sea-i.
The storm is coming on.
Don’t think that it will quickly
pass.
Who smiles at distant fate,
And awaits until it strikes, alas!
Has roused himself too late.
Who thinks the fight will end 1
before
The need of him arrives,
Is lengthening this brutal war
And costing many live-*.
For one of us that storm shall
break
Ere many weeks have fled,
And we shall pay for our mistake
In fields of mangled dead.
Be ready when the foe shall near,
Be there to strike him hard;
Let us, though he be miles from
here.
Be standing now on guard.
To-morrow’s victories won’t be
won
By pluck that we display
Tomorrow when the foe comes on,
But by our work today.
—Edgar Guest.
