Jessie Pope's war poems - Oswestry School

Be MetFOE and friend and foe again,Turning coat and turning yet,That's a feat you don't disdain,De Wet.England's easy, England's kind,Quick to pardon and forget.There's a limit, as you'll find,De Wet.Glad to raise a fallen foe,Readyto erase a debt.Quick to sparea traitor ?De Wet.No,England trusts a solemn vow,That's her way.So be it, we know you now,De Wet.We don't regret.Treachery will miss its aim,You'll be learning, never fret.That it'sbest to play the game,De Wet.[ 19 3
