KILLED IN ACTION, 1915
Let Pride with Grief go hand in hand:
They join the hallowed hosts who died
In battle for their lovely land;
With light about their brows they ride.
Young hearts and hot, gray heads and wise,
Good knights of all the years foregone,
Faith in their England in their eyes,
Helen Gray Cone
