In Memory of Rupert Brooke

In alien earth, across a troubled sea, His body lies that was so fair and young. His mouth is stopped, with half his songs unsung； His arm is still, that struck to make men free. But let no cloud of lamentation¹ be Where, on a warrior's grave, a lyre is hung. We keep the echoes of his golden tongue, We keep the vision of his chivalry².

So Israel's joy, the loveliest of kings, Smote³ now his harp⁴, and now the hostile horde⁵. To-day the starry⁶ roof of Heaven rings With psalms⁷ a soldier made to praise his Lord； And David rests beneath Eternal wings, Song on his lips, and in his hand a sword.
