Citizen Soldier


I vow to thee, my country
All earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect
The service of my love..
The love that asks no question,
The love that stands the test,
That lays upon the altar the dearest and the best;

The love that never falters
The love that pays the price,
The love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice.


- "I Vow to Thee, My Country" by Cecil Spring-Rice, 1908
