GRAIL

How quietly they lie here-row row
In this green dormitory, each bed marked
With a white crossl It was not long ago,
Like Gaahads in khaki, they embarked
Upon the great adventure, keen with lure
OF questing some boys, down upon the cheek
Scarse stiffened; most Of them insure
Just what the grail they started out to seek
They did not live to grasp the shining cup
These sleepers; but they must have family heard
Echoes of crashing thrones, the breaking up
OF outworn tyrannieS-the grail deferred,
But theirs at last; and counting cheap the cost,
Turned to their sumber knowing life well lost.
