Your battle-wounds are scars upon my heart,
Received when in that grand and tragic 'show'
You played your part,
Two years ago,
And silver in the summer morning sun
I see the symbol of your courage glow ~
That Cross you won
Two years ago.
May you endure to lead the Last Advance
And with your men pursue the flying foe
As once in France
Two years ago.
~ Vera Brittain (Dec. 29, 1893 - March 29, 1970) British writer, poet, feminist and pacifist.
