The poem for use with the Respond activity 'Acceptance' (see page 49 of ROOTS CYP 43)

He said, 'I will forget the dying faces;
The empty places,
They shall be filled again.
O voices moaning deep within me, cease.'
But vain the word; vain, vain:
Not in forgetting lieth peace.

He said, 'I will crowd action upon action
The strife of faction
Shall stir me and sustain;
O tears that drown the fire of Manhood cease.'
But vain the word; vain, vain:
Not in endeavour lieth peace.
