SEVEN nations stood with their hands on the jaws of death. It was the first week in August, Nineteen Hundred Four-teen. I was listening, you were listening, the whole world was listening, And all of us heard a Voice murmuring: "I am the way and the light, He that believeth on me Shall not perish But shall have everlasting life." Seven nations listening heard the Voice and answered: "O Hell!" The jaws of death began clicking and they go on clicking: "O Hell!" |
