THE CHOICE THIS Consul Casement he who heard the cry Of stricken people and who in his fight To lift the torture load from broken men, And shield sad women from eternal night, Went through lone, hot, and fevered foreign lands. For doomed Casement, slaves that he raised up Pray with strong voices, so a wide world hears. Men saved from anguish, women saved from shame, He dried your children's tears! He gave you life for him lift pleading hands. Sir Roger Casement, honoured for his years Of stress... and struggle, of fatigue and work, What is the claim of his frail human needs 39 THE CHOICE For arduous hours he did not shun nor shirk, A King's reward, a royal friendliness! For honoured Casement titles and renown, A future great with promise, all life's page Writ in gold letters, and a path so soft One could not hear the coming of old age To point an honoured tomb that nations bless. Ah! Irish Casement, in the roar of war That stung his blood and whipped his manhood's fire. What did he hear upon red shaken earth, Where little nations struggle and expire?
