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!
