EPITAPHS FOR THE SLAIN

Previous

(For a British graveyard in France)

When you go home, tell them of us and say:
For your to-morrow, these gave their to-day.

(For those who fell in the first Battle of Ypres)

When Might in scornful millions came arrayed,
Here a few English stood, and he was stayed.

(For a War Memorial)

These in the glorious morning of their days
For England's sake lost all but England's praise.

(For a general grave on Vimy Ridge)

You come from England? Is she England still?
Yes, thanks to you who died upon this hill.
