IF WAR IS RIGHT, by ALICE (HENDERSON) CORBIN
First Line: If war is right, then god is might
Last Line: He lies among the slain.
Subject(s): War
First Line: If war is right, then god is might
Last Line: He lies among the slain.
Subject(s): War
If war is right, then God is might
And every prayer is vain:
Go raze your temples from the hills—
Red death is in the plain.
If war is right, then God is might
And every prayer is vain:
Look not for Christ upon the hills—
He lies among the slain.
