Rudyard Kipling - The Queen`s MenRudyard Kipling - The Queen`s Men
Work rating: Low


Valour and Innocence          Have latterly gone hence    To certain death by certain shame attended.    Envy—ah! even to tears!    The fortune of their years    Which, though so few, yet so divinely ended.      Scarce had they lifted up    Life`s full and fiery cup,    Than they had set it down untouched before them.    Before their day arose    They beckoned it to close—    Close in confusion and destruction o`er them.    They did not stay to ask    What prize should crown their task—    Well  sure  that  prize  was  such  as  no  man strives  for;    But passed into eclipse,    Her kiss upon their lips—    Even Belphoebe`s, whom they gave their lives for!
