The Cross

'I wear a cross of bronze,' he said,

'and men have told me I was brave.'

He turned his head,

And pointing to a grave,

'they told me that my work of war was done.'

His fierce mouth set.

'and yet, and yet…..'

he trembled where he stood,

'and yet, and yet'…..

I have not won

That broken cross of wood.
