Robert Laurence Binyon

At Rheims 24

But sudden in the hush between
Death and the doomed, there stands
 
Against those levelled guns a priest,
Gentle, with outstretched hands.
 
Be not as guilty as they! he cries . . .
 
Each lets his weapon fall,
As if a vision showed him France
 
And vengeance vain and small.
