When the Fat Years Return
BY F. G.
Ambulance 1856, Western FroI
Ru E. C.


Ambulance 1856, Western Front.
When the fat years return, and, rich
and free,
You half forget, as men have ever
done,
The price once paid for your security,
Thinking too much of fortune lost or
won,
Too much of pride and laughter, food
and ease,
Or of some public favor cheaply
earned,
Oh, then turn back the page and think
OF these
Who gave their bodies for freedom
to be burned
For these lived, too; they, too, loved
ease and laughter,
Sunlight, the green earth. All that
you still keep
They had, and more-vision. II yor
come after
And dare forget them, buried 81
young. so deep,
And dare forget this faith for which
they stood
All. but you will not, being OF theil
blood! The Outlook.
