WE crown d the hard won heights at length	A
Baptiz d in flame and fire	B
We saw the foeman s sullen strength	A
That grimly made retire	C
	-
Saw close at hand then saw more far	D
Beneath the battle smoke	E
The ridges of his shatter d war	F
That broke and ever broke	E
	-
But one an English household s pride	G
Dear many ways to me	H
Who climb d that death path by my side	G
I sought but could not see	H
	-
Last seen what time our foremost rank	I
That iron tempest tore	F
He touch d he scal d the rampart bank	I
Seen then and seen no more	F
	-
One friend to aid I measur d back	J
With him that pathway dread	K
No fear to wander from our track	J
Its waymarks English dead	K
	-
Light thicken d but our search was crown d	H
As we too well divin d	H
And after briefest quest we found	L
What we most fear d to find	M
	-
His bosom with one death shot riven	N
The warrior boy lay low	O
His face was turn d unto the heaven	N
His feet unto the foe	O
	-
As he had fallen upon the plain	P
Inviolate he lay	Q
No ruffian spoiler s hand profane	P
Had touch d that noble clay	Q
	-
And precious things he still retain d	H
Which by one distant hearth	R
Lov d tokens of the lov d had gain d	H
A worth beyond all worth	S
	-
I treasur d these for them who yet	T
Knew not their mighty wo	O
I softly seal d his eyes and set	T
One kiss upon his brow	U
	-
A decent grave we scoop d him where	V
Less thickly lay the dead	K
And decently compos d him there	V
Within that narrow bed	K
	-
O theme for manhood s bitter tears	W
The beauty and the bloom	X
Of less than twenty summer years	Y
Shut in that darksome tomb	X
	-
Of soldier sire the soldier son	N
Life s honor d eventide	K
One lives to close in England one	N
In maiden battle died	K
	-
And they that should have been the mourn d	K
The mourners parts obtain	P
Such thoughts were ours as we return d	K
To earth its earth again	Z
	-
Brief words we read of faith and prayer	V
Beside that hasty grave	A2
Then turn d away and left him there	V
The gentle and the brave	A2
	-
I calling back with thankful heart	K
With thoughts to peace allied	K
Hours when we two had knelt apart	K
Upon the lone hillside	K
	-
And comforted I prais d the grace	B2
Which him had led to be	K
An early seeker of that Face	B2
Which he should early see	K
