How softly did I lay my cheek on thine, How gently, tenderly did I kiss thy lips.
FALLEN I found him " Lying. . .full length on the ground, Just as he had fallen, forward and face down; His helmet, battered and thick with mud, Lay just beyond his reach. . .
Oh, could he but grasp it - it is so near - And struggle onward by my side.
I knelt there -• And, Oh God, the touch of his hair That glistened in the noonday sun; With what tenderness did I clasp that form, So beloved here, surely as welcome... There, And lovingly did I close those eyes In which the light had gone.
And which gazed but did not see.
Opened but did not smile.
I wept there - For, in the pitifully meager soul of me, There was no thought except of self; I had lost, and there arose within me An overwhelming power of unconquerable hate; Close to my breast I held his form And pressed my burning cheek to his cold hands That 1 might warm them into life.
I arose ' And there in the west gleamed the last ray Of the low, descending sun - He had 'gone west* and, for one sacred moment.
