humanity will finish it."
■The President's Speech on the Four
Freedoms.
"Save us from violence," we prayed,
"From evil guard our fate!"
And on that Sunday were betrayed
By violence and hate.
Our Statesmen watched with gathering rage
The bland ones bow and smile
Who laid before them page on page
Of false pretense and guile.
While, punctual to their murder-tryst,
Squadrons we never dreamed
Dived steeply through that morning's mist
To where Pearl Harbor gleamed . . .
West of Waikilci roared the bombs;
Wave after wave they sped;
As dawn, that stirred the fronded palms,
Glowed over Diamond Head.
Three thousand dead and injured lay;
No bolt had missed its mark.
Flames billowed seaward from the bay
Where oily smoke hung dark . . .
Next, fort by fort and port by port,
Our fighting outposts fell.
Midway and Wake they toiled to take,
Lastly, Luzon as well.. .
Then in the air and on the tide
We rose to take that war,
Remembering men on Wake who died—
Bataan . . . Corregidor.
Green jungle, atolls lone and far,
Lagoon and coral beach,
Know now what breed our free men are,
How far our wrath can reach.
With upsurging faith and power,
With every fighting man,
We drive against them in this hour,
To end what they began.
Our army thundering on the march,
Our navy under-weigh;
Sea-wind and stars in a shining arch
And Liberty ... her Day!
—William Rose Benet.
