Such was triumphant Germany, the triumphant Vaterland, in 1913--foretasting a portentous future; pregnant with colossal success; swollen with a hundred years of victories and growth; as sure of its prowess and might as were the swaggering gods of its Valhallas.

With quiet and incurious eye I noted many a wondrous thing,-- Seas of clear glass, and singing streams, In that high pageantry of dreams; Cities of sard and chrysoprase Where choired Hosannas never cease; Valhallas of celestial frays, And lotus-pools of endless peace; But still the faces gaped and cried-- “Give us the dream for which we died!” At length my quiet heart was stirred, Hearing them cry so long in vain.
