[Gutenberg 51212] • The Flag, and Other Poems, 1918

Excerpt from The Flag and Other Poems: 1918

Though worlds are trembling round me and freedom is at stake.

Because I have no sorrows, because my heart's at rest, I cannot weep with others, whose hearts are not so blest; I tremble for no hero upon the fields of France, I cannot curse the Nero who planned this gory dance.
