Faith and flag displayed, crimson flowed,
\nVanquished, the foe is fallen, subdued
\nThe conqueror to Regent and God dedicates
\nThis lands, these fields, from the battle ensued,
\nHis battle over, the conqueror
\nHangs up his sword and shield
\nWalks proud among the admiring crowd
\nBades all in his way to yield.
\nWith drink, merriment, and sleep in time,
\nBis battles over now they are
\nOr so he thinks that so,
\nFor battles fires from him are far.
\nBut woe to him, he is but a fool
\nThinking the battle is over by fighting and winning,
\nSmall battle over, the big one of for his soul:
\nCan he reflect, repent, refrain from sinning?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
