The eternal future in your debt from now until

Man's latest dav. How can the wondering world forget — and how,

remembering, repay ?

France, Britain, Russia : they have fought as fits the vast initiate;

You, all unready, but unbought, till they were marshalled, held the gate.

Above all clamour and applause, you stand, what- ever else befall,

God's David in Mankind's high cause: Belgium, the bravest of them all !

— Reginald Wright Kan ff man.
