Grant us the single heart once more  
  That mocks no sacred thing,  
  The Sword of Truth our fathers wore  
  When Thou wast Lord and King. Let darkness unto darkness tell  
  Our deep unspoken prayer;  
  For, while our souls in darkness dwell,  
  We know that Thou art there.
Dedication, later published as "A Prayer in Time of War". - A Belgian Christmas Eve (1915)
