260 Ruder sounds shall none be near;

Guards nor warders challenge here;

Here's no war-steed's neigh and champing,

Shouting clans, or squadrons stamping.

THE FALLEN

BY DUNCAN CAMPBELL SCOTT

we have loved the dearest,

The bravest and the best,

Are summoned from the battle

To their eternal rest;

There they endure the silence,

Here we endure the pain—

He that bestows the Valor

Valor resumes again.

O, Master of all Being,

Donor of Day and Night,

Of Passion and of Beauty,

Of Sorrow and Delight,

Thou gav'st them the full treasure

Of that heroic blend—

The Pride, the Faith, the Courage,

That holdeth to the end.
