Rhymes of a Padre (London: Hodder and Stoughton,
1919): 39. 1919/5/85 Cambridge University Library
1There's a soul in the Eternal,
2Standing stiff before the King.
3There's a little English maiden
4 Sorrowing.
5There's a proud and tearless woman,
6Seeing pictures in the fire.
7There's a broken battered body
8 On the wire.
