Who manned the wall while Ilium burned--

This is the crown your story knows,

The need their rare dear madness earned!

Troy's heroes cry to ours and thee,

Gallipoli, Gallipoli!

They watched through fierce weeks many a one

While, from his tent of rose-hued lawn

The unclenched fingers of the sun

Unloosed the westering birds of dawn;

For them those sun-birds stoop and fly
