BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND MORNING.

By SIR OWEN SEAMAN.

[From King Albert’s Book.]

    You that have faith to look with fearless eyes
      Beyond the tragedy of a world at strife,
    And trust that out of night and death shall rise
        The dawn of ampler life;

    Rejoice, whatever anguish rend your heart,
      That God has given you, for a priceless dower,
    To live in these great times and have your part
        In Freedom’s crowning hour.

    That you may tell your sons who see the light
      High in the heavens, their heritage to take—­
    “I saw the powers of darkness put to flight! 
        I saw the morning break!”
