____________________
For him no words – the best were only weak; could not express what love desires to speak.
For him no praise, no guerdon did he ask; To serve his king the all sufficient task
For him no tears – no idle tears be shed. No fading laurels on that lowly head.
He fought for England, and for her he fell. He did his duty then – and all is well.
He deemed it but a humble act to give his life and all, if Freedom thus might live.
And though he found the shock of battle rough, he would not shrink – the glory was enough.
For him the tomb within a nation’s heart, that will endure when crumbled stones depart.
For him the honour with the brave to stand, with those who were in danger, our right hand.
For him no empty epitaph of dust, but that he kept for England safe her trust.
No, he’s not dead! but over a war’s loud swell, heard be his Captain’s call – and all is well.
