Time & Brevity
VII
From Poems of the Past and the Present
Time & Brevity
—Yet, voices haunting us, daunting us, taunting us,
Hint in the night-time when life beats are low
Other and graver things . . . Hold we to braver things,
Wait we, in trust, what Time’s fulness shall show.
AT THE WAR OFFICE, LONDON
(Affixing the Lists of Killed and Wounded: December, 1899)
