Excerpt from Wings, and Other War Rhymes Then Give Us Wings If wings will help our men to see Some Boche's belching battery, Releasing from a screen of trees Its screeching death upon the breeze - Or help our giant guns to search With truer aim each hidden perch Of Teuton guns, and make them meek Ere they again may chance to speak - If wings, O God, will do these things, Then give us wings. If great destroying wings might stay Munitions on their hurried way, Or hold a reinforcement back By dropping ruin on its track, Or yet set free the pent-up hell Of depots filled with shot and shell, Or swiftly give eternal sleep To ships that prowl the nether deep - If wings, O God, will do these things, Then give us wings and still more wings.

Excerpt from War Rhymes The reader of this booklet is not expected to agree with everything in it. The rhymes express only the impressions made on the writer at the time by the varied incidents and conditions arising out of the great war, and some of them did not apply when circum stances changed. They have been printed as written, how ever, and, if they serve no other purpose, may at least help us to recall some things that too soon have nearly passed out of our minds.
