  • : :They that have climbed the white mists of the morning; :They that have soared, before the world's awake, :To herald up their foeman to them, scorning :The thin dawn's rest their weary folk might take; :Some that have left other mouths to tell the story :Of high, blue battle, quite young limbs that bled, :How they had thundered up the clouds to glory, :Or fallen to an English field stained red. :Because my faltering feet would fail I find them :Laughing beside me, steadying the hand :That seeks their deadly courage – :Yet behind them :The cold light dies in that once brilliant Land .... :Do these, who help the quickened pulse run slowly, :Whose stern, remembered image cools the brow, :Till the far dawn of Victory, know only :Night's darkness, and Valhalla's silence now? (en)
  • : "We laid him in a cool and shadowed grove : One evening in the dreamy scent of thyme : Where leaves were green, and whispered high above — : A grave as humble as it was sublime; : There, dreaming in the fading deeps of light — : The hands that thrilled to touch a woman's hair; : Brown eyes, that loved the Day, and looked on Night, : A soul that found at last its answered Prayer... : There daylight, as a dust, slips through the trees. : And drifting, gilds the fern around his grave — : Where even now, perhaps, the evening breeze : Steals shyly past the tomb of him who gave : New sight to blinded eyes; who sometimes wept — : A short time dearly loved; and after, — slept."
