And none so poor, Or slave or Boer, But God will heed his crying. When time is ripe, His potent Word Shall dull the proud oppressor's sword ; And right takes -no denying. THE CHANT OF THE BOER. In the Inter Ocean, Chicago (January 2, 1902). I ride the tawny veldt in pain ; To die for home I count but gain ; The English foemen press my track ; My trusty rifle answers back. And though I ride straight on to doom, POEMS AND CONCEITS IN VERSE. 109 My fate shall tell through all the years That freedo...m's price is blood and tears. The kopje soothes my aching breast ; The stars above me guard my rest ; For friends my rifle and my steed, In these I trust in time of need, Though all the legions of a king Shall trace in flame their master's word, That right is but a name for sword. My fallen comrades speak to me; They died to make their country free. The glories of Majuba Hill And Spion Kop, I see them still. There sleeps his last my haughty foe. To him a nation marble rears ; Let men remember me with tears.
