Sir Henry Newbolt - The Grenadier`s Good-ByeSir Henry Newbolt - The Grenadier`s Good-Bye
Work rating: Low


"When Lieutenant Murray fell, the only words he spoke were, `Forward, Grenadiers!`"---Press Telegram. Here they halted, here once more   Hand from hand was rent; Here his voice above the roar   Rang, and on they went. Yonder out of sight they crossed,   Yonder died the cheers; One word lives where all is lost---   "Forward, Grenadiers!" This alone he asked of fame,   This alone of pride; Still with this he faced the flame,   Answered Death, and died. Crest of battle sunward tossed,   Song of the marching years, This shall live though all be lost---   "Forward, Grenadiers!"
