Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Aberdeen University Review, Vol. 3 Old Aberdeen, October 1915. Mother of trees and towers and ancient ways And homes of studious peace; to whose grey Crown Thy lads come up through these October days, Come up again the while thy leaves fall down - Rustling about the young and eager feet, As if the spirits of thy crowded past, Mustering on high those latest ranks to greet, Did down their ghostly salutations cast - Ah, this October many come no more, Whose trysted faces we had looked to see, For on the fields of Flanders or that shore, Steep and fire-swept, of grim Gallipoli, They fell like leaves, innumerably fell, And, though still quick and keen and fain for life, With as ripe ease and gentleness of will, As the sere leaf from out the tempest´s strife - Ready for Death and their young sacrifice By faith in God, by love of home and land, And the proud conscience of the ungrudged price Their fathers paid at Freedom´s high demand. Though through thy stripped trees, trailing with the mist The mournful music of the pipes comes creeping, Mourn thou not those who only failed thy tryst Because they kept a holier - and are keeping.
