Caption on facing page:
Those that have stayed at thy knees, Mother, go call them in --
We that were bred overseas wait and would speak with our kin,
Not in thye dark do we fight -- haggle and flout and gibe;
Selling our love for a price, loaning our hearts for a bribe.
Kipling, Rudyard. The Song of the English. London: Hodder and Stoughton, nd [1909].
