THESE then we honour : these in fragrant earth I Of their own country in great peace forget Death's lion-roar and gust of nostril-flame Breathing souls across to the Evening Shore. Soon over these the flowers of our hill sides Shall wake and wave and nod beneath the bee And whisper love to Zephyr year on year, Till the red war gleam like a dim red rose Lost in the garden of the Sons of Time. But ah what thousands no such friendly doom Awaits, whom silent comrades in full night Gazing right and left shall bury swiftly By the cold flicker of an alien moon.
