Methuen and Co. Ltd. 36 Essex Street W.C. London First Published in 1919 _Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower, Watching what had come upon mankind, Showed the Man the Glory and the Power, And bade him shape the Kingdom to his mind.
'All things on Earth your will shall win you' ('Twas so their counsel ran) 'But the Kingdom--the Kingdom is within you,' Said the Man's own mind to the Man.
For time, and some time-- As it was in the bitter years before, So it shall be in the over-sweetened hour-- That a man's mind is wont to tell him more Than Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower._ PAGE _Across a world where all men grieve,_ 156 _A._ 'I was a "have"' _B._ 'I was a "have-not,"' 135 After the burial-parties leave, 68 _Ah!
What avails the classic bent,_ 96 _A tinker out of Bedford,_ 38 Be well assured that on our side, 24 Brethren, how shall it fare with me, 33 _Broke to every known mischance, lifted over all,_ 15 For all we have and are, 21 God rest you, peaceful gentlemen, let nothing you dismay, 44 'Have you news of my boy Jack?'
61 He passed in the very battle-smoke, 31 I ate my fill of a whale that died, 121 I do not look for holy saints to guide me on my way, 114 If you stop to find out what your wages will be, 80 _In a land that the sand overlays--the ways to her gates are untrod,_ 148 Not in the thick of the fight, 63 Oh ye who hold the written clue, 93 Once, after long-drawn revel at The Mermaid, 91 _Seven Watchmen sitting in a tower,_ v _The Babe was laid in the Manger,_ 52 The banked oars fell an hundred strong, 1 The dark eleventh hour, 9 The Doorkeepers of Zion, 29 The fans and the beltings they roar round me, 81 The first time that Peter denied his Lord, 125 The Garden called Gethsemane, 85 _The overfaithful sword returns the user,_ 87 There are no leaders to lead us to honour, and yet without leaders we sally, 70 The road to En-dor is easy to tread, 55 These were never your true love's eyes, 119 The Sons of Mary seldom bother, for they have inherited that good part, 75 They shall not return to us, the resolute, the young, 65 'This is the State above the Law, 106 To-day, across our fathers' graves, 5 _To the Judge of Right and Wrong,_ 35 Through learned and laborious years, 27 Try as he will, no man breaks wholly loose, 112 'Twixt my house and thy house the pathway is broad, 42 We're not so old in the Army List, 48 We thought we ranked above the chance of ill, 13 We were all one heart and one race, 6 What boots it on the Gods to call?

How do I study chapter 1 of The Years Between?

Work through the 130 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 130 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 1 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 1 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
