A. +. F. France)

When | have gone into the dark,
| know quite we'll how they vii! mark
The muddy hole where must lie:
"A wooden cross, and set thereby
In case the weather leaves it blank,
A bottled tag, with my name ard rank.
And yet I'm fool enough to pray
Someone may dig me up some day
And box and ship me back again
TO the golden land Of little rain
10 the silver sage and the turqoise sky
And the far-off hills that look close by;
And raise a stone above my head,
The way they should when fellows
dead,
With my name and age and the place
And perhaps line or two besides
. Not plOus lies, but Just the truth
"Here lies a cup that the wine of youth
Filled up once to the very brim
Its owner Clinked it, rim to rim,
With the cups of all folks about
And never cared if bit spilled out:
And knew the cup too good to waste,
Big trouble started in the place
And he flung the wine in bully's face,
Cup and all, and the wine was lost
The cup was broken. He knew the cost:
And with legs still steady and eyes still
bright -
He walked from the tavern into the
night"
And the boys I knew will turn aside,
Perhaps as much as half days ride,
To pass the place where the stone is set
For they aren't the sort that will forget.
