DEDICATION

Honour for them that watched the waves,

That stormed the ridge, that dared the air,

That claimed of right unsullied graves

And slumber with contentment there.

Honour for them that bravely fought,

O Pride, O Faith, without alloy ~~

No tears, no doubt, no shadow ~~ nought

But silence on the heights of Joy.

Duncan Campbell Scott.

REQUIEM

YOU and the company of saints are here,

while one man knows

that all creation is simple as a rose,

fades like a rose, and has the roses’s thorn,

but sees behind the fallen petal the bud,

and understands, although his heart is torn,

there was and is salvation in blood,

while anyone

lies down to sleep, accepting everything beneath

the sun.

Humbert Wolfe.
