The Battle-Field

---

They dropped like flakes, they dropped like stars,

    Like petals from a rose,

When suddenly across the June

    A wind with fingers goes.

---

They perished in the seamless grass, —

    No eye could find the place;

But God on his repealless list

    Can summon every face.
