"'THE SOLDIER'* :
’’The carven marble bears no burning name But yet, incarnate in:three million men
His voice, is . silent in the deep-sunk We knew him;knew his faults 'which
t . grave; . ’ made '
We know not who he was; or whence he came Him human; knew his spirit which'again
So honored by the world he died to save. Smote down the evil as a gleaming.
blade* *
The earth has held no flesh more dear than this,
Symbolic of the daring .souls which sped
Death1 s path for us; no namer which felt the kiss
Of Fane' more honored than Our Unknown Dead”
