THE WATCHWORD.

By John Hendrick Bangs

GIVE of your mass of gold. Send to the prostrate West Some of that wealth untold Digged from her virgin breast. Give!
Give of your meager store, Send from your cupboard bare Out to the wasted shore, If but a pittance share. Give!
Give of your brother heart Quick of its golden glow. Let the love cargo start Out to the field of wo. Give!
Give of your health and strength, Give of your helping hand. Over its breadth and length Vieing with all the land. Give!
Give of the healing light Quick to the souls that grope; Send to the hearts affright Messages filled with hope. Give! —John Hendrick Bangs.
