arch and tower; He is bigger in the trenches than the Kaiser on his Throne, And the whole world loves him for the sorrows he has known : So I take off my hat to Albert. Defiance was his answer to the Teuton at his gate, Then he buckled on his armor and pledged his soul to fate; He stood between his people and the biggest Essen gun, For he feared not shot nor shrapnel as his little army won: So I take oflf my hat to Albert. King of Belgium, Duke of Brabant, Count of Flanders, all in one; Little Kingdom of the Belgae starr'd with honor in the sun! You have won a place in history, of your deeds the world will sing, But the glory of your nation is your dust-stained, fear- less King: So I take off my hat to Albert. 89 IN THE TRENCHES. ALL day the guns belched fire and death And filled the hours with gloom; The fateful music smote the sky- In tremulous bars of doom ; But as the evening stars came forth A truce to death and strife, There rose from hearts of patriot love A tender song of life.
