    Lest We Forget

    "How to Die"

    Dark clouds are smouldering into red

      While down the craters morning burns.

    The dying soldier shifts his head

      To watch the glory that returns;

    He lifts his fingers toward the skies

      Where holy brightness breaks in flame;

    Radiance reflected in his eyes,

      And on his lips a whispered name.


    You'd think, to hear some people talk,

      That lads go West with sobs and curses,

    And sullen faces white as chalk,

      Hankering for wreaths and tombs and hearses.

    But they've been taught the way to do it

      Like Christian soldiers; not with haste

    And shuddering groans; but passing through it

      With due regard for decent taste.
