Excerpt from Over There: Poems of Appreciation, Consolation and Indignation
Ohie day we'll join them over there and know The haunting secret that lights up their face, Giving their humblest act a touch of grace As if all saw the Vision in the glow Of Heaven ajar, as, 10, they cry We go Comrades in arms of those who set the pace, Ready to fall if they but win the race Ere_tyranny shall strike the fateful blow. Some day! Ah, yes, the long way over there We too shall tread since they have gladly gone As pioneers and paid the final toll! So fear we not, as if in dull despair, To face with them the bright unending dawn.
