Her young from where they hide—her sanctuary breast.

What 's here then? Answer me, thou dead one, as, I trow,

Standing at God's own bar, he bids thee answer now!

Thrice crowned wast thou—each crown of pride, a child—thy charge!

Where are they? Lost? Enough: no need that thou enlarge

On how or why the loss: life left to utter 'lost'

Condemns itself beyond appeal. The soldier's post

Guards from the foe's attack the camp he sentinels:

That he no traitor proved, this and this only tells—

Over the corpse of him trod foe to foe's success.
