"Here pause we for the present — as even then That awful pause, dividing life from death, Struck for an instant on the hearts of men, Thousands of whom were drawing their last breath! A moment — and all will be life again! The march! the charge! the shouts of either faith! Hurra! and Allah! and — one moment more, The death-cry drowning in the battle's roar."
