More Songs by the Fighting Men They say his soul lives on—

That I shall find

Him safe in God's eternity.

To-night, to-night, this aching in my breast,

This wildness in my mind

Cries to the farthest cruel star:—

"O Thou to Whom his soul has gone,

Spare me his lips love-prest!

In this pained night eternity is far—

God! give his dear warm body back to me." 32
