John Mccrae Song Poems
- 1. Upon Watts' Picture Sic Transit
"What I spent I had; what I saved, I lost; what I gave, I have."

“What I spent I had; what I saved, I lost; what I gave, I have.”
But yesterday the tourney, all the eager joy of life,

(I scorn your beguiling, O sea!)

(A treacherous lover, the sea!)
... - 5. The Hope Of My Heart
“Delicta juventutis et ignorantius ejus, quoesumus ne memineris, Domine.”

To-day around him surges from the silences of Time
A flood of nobler music, like a river deep and broad,
Fit song for heroes gathered in the banquet-hall of God.
... - 8. A Song Of Comfort
“Sleep, weary ones, while ye may-
Sleep, oh, sleep!”
Eugene Field.
