HARTLEY MUNRO THOMAS

LIEUTENANT IN ROYAL AIR FORCE, B.E.F.
AUTHOR OF "SONGS OF AN AIRMAN AND OTHER POEMS."

"Lt.————, R.F C., missing believed killed."

A rain drop on the leaf
Of a rose is here—
The purest form of grief
Is a sunbeam's tear.

The airman who is slain
Has a petal shroud
And he feels the gentle rain
From the mourning cloud.

Where comrade sunbeams leap
In the open space,
Where the hero fell asleep
With a smiling face.
