More Songs by the Fighting Men They reach the roadside; and, leaning over,

Wait for your coming. A swerving flash

Through their clutching fingers—then dreaming clover,

And corn amazed at your passing dash

Over the bridge as the water glides black

Darker than death in a dream: then pales.

The enchanted ground from the village slides back.

Voices and lights: and the magic fails. 130
