XXX In Memoriam S.C.W., V.C.

THERE is no fitter end than this.
No need is now to yearn nor sigh.
We know the glory that is his,
    A glory that can never die.

Surely we knew it long before,
    Knew all along that he was made
For a swift radiant morning, for
    A sacrificing swift night-shade.

8 September 1915
