Katharine Tynan - To R A A
Work rating: Low

Was it not a great end?
Wrote your Philip, with a story
Of a great deed, a great death--
Not foreseeing his own glory 
And his budding laurel-wreath--
In the last words he should send. 


Philip`s followed Alan`s lead. 
They are gone into the night 
With the great heroes of old, 
With the stars, the stars they are bright; 
They are warm; they are not cold. 
They live: they are not dead. 


But the silence aches. O friend 
In the darkness, cold and stricken, 
For anodyne, antidote, 
Tell your dead heart, that it quicken, 
The last words that Philip wrote: 
"Was it not a great end ?" A great end!
