About This Book
Excerpt from A Song of the Open Road, and Other VersesAnd now St. George's shield can show, Not shamed, with them that were his peers, And on us too such daybreak glow As shows your dying Fusiliers, Borne high above the breaking spears, The Breast Plate of St. Patrick blaze, Cry, for a cleaner England hears, To thine and mine and better days.
