| | From “War Sequence”
WHEN all is done, | |
| The faith unshaken; | |
| When peace has come, | |
| The well-gained peace: | |
| When comes that day— | 5 |
| The living, lest they may forget too soon, | |
| Shall know we fought against the bondage of our souls. | |
| We fought as one by one, | |
| So suffered we, | |
| And found beneath the larger cause our own, | 10 |
| The unguessed depth and height … | |
| Under the stars, under the sky and night, | |
| We descried a vision of what things were true. . . . . . . . . . | |
| Backward the surge: time and the day regain | |
| Their mastery. Yet something will remain | 15 |
| Of vision and the quest—the unceasing quest | |
| Toward light, and toward the spirit that creates, | |
| Effacing war. | | | | |
