Robert Laurence Binyon

To Women 27

Amid the thunder of the guns,
 
The lightnings of the lance and sword
 
Your hope, your dread, your throbbing pride,
 
Your infinite passion is outpoured
 
From hearts that are as one high heart
Withholding naught from doom and bale
Burningly offered up, to bleed,
To bear, to break, but not to fail!
