THE SINGING SAVIOURS.
“ Dead men tell no tales I ” they chuckled, As the singing saviours died, A few serene, the many shackled, Scourged, tortured, crucified. Dead men tell no tales. ... is Shelley Dustblown dumbly over the ground? Are Keats and Burns silenced wholly? Do Milton's stiff lips give no sound? Is Shakespeare voiceless, Dante tongueless? And, in this black, protesting year. Is the dead Jesus wordless, songless? Listen. . . . They are all that you can hear 1 —Clement Wood, in Scribner’s.
