    There Is A Word

    There is a word
    Which bears a sword
    can pierce an armed man.

    It hurls its barbed syllables, --
    At once is mute again.
    But where it fell
    The saved will tell
    On patriotic day,
    Some epauletted brother
    Gave his breath away.

    Wherever runs the breathless sun,
    Wherever roams the day,
    There is its victory!
    Behold the keenest marksman!
    Time's sublimest target
    Is a soul "forgot"!
