<h2> WE MUST LIVE ON </h2>
<p>We must live on; a deeper tragedy:<br/>
To see, to touch, to know, and to desire;<br/>
To feel in every vein the glorious fire<br/>
Of Eden, and to cry, “Oh, to be free!”<br/>
<br/>
To cry, “Oh, wipe the gloomy stain away,<br/>
Thou who first raised the sword, Who gave the hilt<br/>
Into the hand of man. This blood they spilt—<br/>
Our fathers—oh, blot out the bitter day!<br/>
<br/>
Erase the hour from out Thy calendar,<br/>
Turn back the hands upon the clock of Time,<br/>
Oh, Artificer of destroying War—<br/>
<br/>
Their righteous hate who bore us in our crime!”<br/>
“Upon the children!”—‘Tis the cold reply<br/>
Of Him who makes to those who must not die.<br/></p>
