Hostage of our land's honour, by red ways, There on that bloody slope, 'neath flame-lit skies, With the brave few he yielded his brief days Battling for freedom's menaced liberties. [60 ] OVERSEAS Glimpsing, no more, horizons of romance, Nor love's bright paths, he turned stern, dying eyes Towards the fire-rimmed, " the brave frontiers of France." Oh, not for him, earth's tranquil, pleasant way! That fervent pulse which beat to life's desire, Leapt to the call of arms without dismay. No conscri...pt of blind fate! Blithe heart afire With passionate zeal, he gave his latest breath As some enraptured martyr mounts the pyre And happily goes singing to his death. Spirit of flame and tears and tenderness! Singer and soldier, debonair and gay! Fond worshipper of earth's dear loveliness From Orizaba's snows to far Calais! Pilgrim of dreams! Knight-errant without fears! Alas, Death vanquished, should have turned away And spared thee to Life's utmost days and years. [ 61 ] ABBIE CARTER GOODLOE Useless, this vain complaining of thy will, Lord of Death !
