History & Politics

For “Pages Inédites,” etc.

by Robert Bridges 1844–1930

From October and Other Poems (1920)

History & Politics

By our dear sons’ graves, fair France, thou’rt now to us, endear’d;
Since no more as of old stand th’ English against thee in fight,
But rallying to defend thee they die guarding thy beauty
From blind envious Hate and Perfidy leagued with Might.
