The passers of the past
Because their to and fro
Has cut this road to last,
I owe them more today
Because they’ve gone away....”

Oft through the trees they catch a glance
Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
To life, to cities, and to war!”

mastiffs are of unmatchable courage.”
