  From Miss Wilson’s book entitled “The Little Flag On Main Street,” published and copyright, 1917, by The Macmillan Company, New York. Special permission to insert in this book. ON law and love and mercy Was laid the German curse When to her execution Was led the British nurse. In brutal might they thought her Of help and friendship shorn; John Brown, Jeanne d’Arc, all martyrs, Companioned her that morn. A harmless, tender woman, They took her to her doom; A dread, resistless spirit She rises from the tomb. Still Germany shall fear her, For since that bloody dawn Through all the earth that trembles Her soul goes marching on! |
