Nurse Cavell

Nurse Cavell

WHEN that most false evangel ever yet
Proclaimed with soulless voice from shore to shore--
The gospel of Blood and Iron--shall have met
Its doom, and be no more;

This woman's Iron courage shall resound
Above all fame the gloating sword confers;
This woman's Blood shall cry out of the ground
Against her Murderers.
