Suddenly One Day Author Unknown
From The Westminster Gazette
Found in the pocket of Capt. T. P. C. Wilson, a British officer, killed in action.
SUDDENLY one day
The last ill shall fall away.
The last little beastliness that is in our blood
Shall drop from us as the sheath drops from the bud,
And the great spirit of man shall struggle through
And spread huge branches underneath the blue.
In any mirror, be it bright or dim,
Man will see God, staring back at him.
