Katharine Tynan - The Last Question: (For B. A. Bingham)Katharine Tynan - The Last Question: (For B. A. Bingham)
Work rating: Low


They lifted up his weary head,     Stained with a dark and bitter dew: "How does the battle go?" he said. Sir, it is victory," -- when he heard     He smiled the darkening shadows through And died as blithe as a singing bird. On the stained grass as on a bed     Dying he lay and well content -- "Sir, it is victory," they said. So smiling, smiling all the way,     To the undying Dead he went As to a heavenly holiday.
