1. What shall I tell my people today about my work,

    when my hope of completing it has been shattered?

  2. And less grievous than the sorrow and heartache I hide,

    and the anguish, torments, and dread,

  3. are Reuter's reports on the Boer War, telling of

    the failure that befell the army of the sons of the Thames.
