Captain R.V. Agius. Killed October 26th 1917
When you were camped at Mory
I rode across the plain.
I saw your lines, your sentries,
The white tents again.
But you had been in action
And – O my heart – the pain!
I rode across to Houthulst
This time I knew you dead.
The wind whipped my dry eyes,
I had no tears to shed.
But you among the craters –
And my heart in me – bled.
