PRONOUNCING VOCABULARY
[Transcriber's note: Because of the quantity of Unicode characters in these four pages, it was decided to just display them as images. Also, some of the "characters" on these pages are composite, e.g. the double-oh in the Abdul Hamid pronunciation, and not present even in Unicode.]
After-Days
When the last gun has long withheld
Its thunder, and its mouth is sealed,
Strong men shall drive the furrow straight
On some remembered battlefield.
Untroubled they shall hear the loud
And gusty driving of the rains,
And birds with immemorial voice
Sing as of old in leafy lanes.
The stricken, tainted soil shall be
Again a flowery paradise—
Pure with the memory of the dead
And purer for their sacrifice.
