Katharine Tynan - (For-Arnold-and-Donald-Fletcher)Katharine Tynan - (For-Arnold-and-Donald-Fletcher)
Work rating: Low


One called from Salonika and his call         Rang to his brother; Forded wide rivers, climbed the mountain wall,         Seeking the other. Are you asleep, Arnold, or do you wake?         Our way`s together! The day`s before us and the path we take         Over the heather. As oft before, breasting the Wicklow hills,         Light-foot and leaping Over the bog-pools and the singing rills,         Side by side keeping. We have known all the best that life can give,         Tasted the sweetest; Shall we grow old, lag heavy-foot and grieve,         We, who were fleetest? Let us be gone while yet it is the morn         Dewy before us, Light on the mountains and the springing corn         And the lark o`er us! The voice from Salonika found the way         Easy of passage, And to French Flanders on the second day         Carried the message. Arnold has gone the way that Donald went,         Donald`s o`ertaken; Up to the highest peaks they climb unspent,         Footing the bracken.
