Still, through the veil, the Victor's pitying eyes
Look down to bless our lesser Calvaries.

The Supreme Sacrifice and Other Poems in Time of War (1919)

All you had hoped for, all you had, you gave
To save Mankind—yourselves you scorned to save.

The Supreme Sacrifice and Other Poems in Time of War (1919)

O valiant Hearts, who to your glory came
Through dust of conflict and through battle-flame;
Tranquil you lie, your knightly virtue proved,
Your memory hallowed in the Land you loved.
