Her face was veiled; yet to my fancied sight
Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shined
So clear as in no face with more delight.
But, O! as to embrace me she inclined,
I waked, she fled, and day brought back my night.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)

On Vimy Ridge; and when you fell that day
The war seemed over more for you than me,
But now for me than you the other way.”
