DEATH AND THE WARRIOR.
247
"Death! Death! I go to a doom unbless'd,
If this indeed must be!
But the cross is bound upon my breast,
And I may not shrink for thee!
"Sound, clarion, sound!—for my vows are given
To the cause of the holy shrine;
I bow my soul to the will of heaven,
O Death! and not to thine!"
F. H.
