MALTA
And still she stands, defiant and alone, Strong as the rock to which her feet are bound; No brighter star in all the spheres has shone To grace the knightly spirit of her ground. Once was this lost, but once again is found In richer measure and more deeply sown, It flowers anew, full bloom, on every mound Where high her banner streams in proud wind blown. So strikes the greatest hour in all her history known. —W. J. Kennedy, in the “Navy.’
