THE RED CROSS SPIRIT SPEAKS
By JOHN H. FINLEY.
I kneel behind the soldiers' trench '
.'I walk with shambles' smear and stench
' i The dead I mourn. '
I bear tho stretcher and I bend"
O'er Sarnmy-, Pierre and Jack and mend
What shells have torn.
I go wherever men may dare,,I go wherever woman's
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 myarm I. wear,
The flag which o'er my breast I bear,
Is but the sign' ' . .
Of what you'dacriflce for him
Who suffers on the hellish rim
Of war's red line.
