History & Politics
Home from the Wars
From The poetical works of George MacDonald in two volumes — Volume 1
History & Politics
A tattered soldier, gone the glow and gloss,
With wounds half healed, and sorely trembling knee,
Homeward I come, to claim no victory-cross:
I only faced the foe, and did not flee.
