Katharine Tynan - For-Valentine-and-Hubert-BlakeKatharine Tynan - For-Valentine-and-Hubert-Blake
Work rating: Low


Young martyrs of the war, Who with your bright eyes star       The shadows grey; Who steal at dawn and gloam In each beloved room       So pale, so gay. Boys who will not grow old, Peach cheek and hair of gold,       Smile and are flown; You will come back again, In the darkness and the rain,       In the dusk, in the dawn. Remember, oh, dear Two, Two who came after you       Who love, as you loved, The grey house and the woods, All the sweet solitudes       You loved, approved. Dear martyrs of the war, Remember, where you are,       Boys who have still To do, to bear, to attain To your glory and your gain --       By what steep hill?
