Poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Camouflage

Camouflage is all the rage.
Ladies in their fight with age--
Soldiers in their fight with foes--
Demagogues who mask and pose
In the guise of statesmen--girls
Black of eyes with golden curls--

Politicians, votes in mind,
Smiling, affable and kind,
All use camouflage to-day.
As you go upon your way,
Walk with caution, move with care;
Camouflage is everywhere! 

1. Earnestness
2. Sonnets of Sorrow. 18. The wise ones tell me that my heart's wild clamour
3. Progress
4. The Crimes of Peace
5. Our Lives

Andrew Paterson Camouflage ("Beside the bare and beaten track of travelling flocks and herds")
