The Red Flower And Golden Stars

These verses were written during the terrible world-war, and immediately
after. The earlier ones had to be unsigned because America was still
“neutral” and I held a diplomatic post. The rest of them were printed
after I had resigned, and was free to speak out, and to take active
service in the Navy, when America entered the great conflict for
liberty and peace on earth.

Avalon, February 22, 1920.
