Since it was bought with lavish waste of worth Whereto the wealth of Earth's gold-sanded streams Were but a lack, and dearth. Muscovite metal makes this English Cross, Won in a rain of blood and wreath of flame ; The guns that thimdered for their brave lives' loss Are worn hence, for their fame ! For, listen ! all ye maidens laughing-eyed. And all ye English mothers, be aware 1 Those who shall pass before ye at noontide Your friends and champions are. The men of all the army and the fleet, The ...very bravest of the very brave. Linesman and Lord — these fought with equal feet Firm-planted on their grave. The men who, setting light their blood and breath So they might win a victor's haught renown, Held their steel straight against the face of Death, And frowned his frowning down. THE VICTORIA CROSS. I7I And some that grasped the bomb, all fury-fraught, And hurled it far, to spend its spite away, — Between the rescue and the risk, no thought, — Shall pass our Queen this day ; And some who climbed the deadly glacis-side, For all that steel could stay, or savage shell ; And some, whose blood upon the Colors dried Tells if they bore them well ; Some, too, who, gentle-hearted even in strife, Seeing their fellow or their friend go down.
