Excerpt from Why Don't They Cheer?: Poems And thou, mine own, for whom my soul had feared, That in that day thy heart should shrink and crawl; Lest gain and getting, o'er endeared, Should leave thee fat and visionless withal: In peace thy vainer side was uppermost And seared with ends and aims of little worth; In war, thy sons from coast to coast Have made thy name a glory through the earth.
