Show THE REP GROSS Ey EDGAR A. GUEST. AM too old to share the fight; I Too many years have com; and gone I Since first I saw the morning light. My youth has been and traveled on, I am too old to join the line. Far-flung today that truth shall live; I may not die for what is fine. But I am not too old to give. I am not yet so old that I Have drifted from the world apart I still can hear the helpless cry, And mercy still can reach my heart. I still can share from day to day The burden that our youth must bear, And I thank God that I can say The Red Cross is my symbol there. I am too old to bear a lance, Across the shell-trn Flanders' field I may not go where troops advance And death's grim terrors are revealed; But I can hear the helpless call. And I can serve them while I live; And I thank God that through it all I ahall net be too old to give. |
