Love
Three Helpers in Battle
From Poems (1908)
Love
I have not been as Joshua when he fought
The hosts of Amalek in the valley found.
My voice hath never, like a trumpet sound.
Victory for the falling victors wrought.
But I, with Aaron, faint yet unafraid.
Held up the hands of Moses while he prayed.
