“Last night I watched my brothers play,
The gentle and the reckless one,
In a field two yards away.
For half a century they were gone
Beyond the other side of care
To be among the peaceful dead.”

Time’s course to slower speeding,
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?”
