Your native land ! how dearer it must be, Now you have paid it such immediate price JAMES WATT WALKER 37 You had no richer largess to bestow, Than this, your all of manhood ; By token of his blood shed by that far off Somme, You claim the right to call this land your own, Upon whose title deeds his name is writ ; Brother of mine ! fruit of that mother breast Whose name is holiest next to God, Full-known, full-felt is this within the heart of one Who feels the world's strong pulse grow thin with... death, That these but seem as phrases culled To drug your fevered grief to sleep, And that the waking hour may bring an added pain ; You hear no longer tread the eager step, The loving voice no longer warms the ear, And spectres crowd the gateways of your thoughts ; But this I know, that when the crushing wave Which breaks against your breast has spent its force, It will have sent a rich o'erflowing stream, To flood the spacious veins of memory, And as it flows, to feed the roots of pride, And fill for ever full the fonts of love ; And so from this day forth it will be joy, To have his name unceasing on the tongue, And every recollection will be Served by honourable thoughts and undisputed words ; This be the aftermath of all your pain, That till the last grim shadow falls, He will remain a ministrant of love, A gracious influence, an ever radiant presence.
