• Count not the cost of honour to the dead!The tribute that a mighty nation paysTo those who loved her well in former daysMeans more than gratitude for glories fled;For every noble man that she hath bred,Lives in the bronze and marble that we raise,Immortalised by art's immortal praise,To lead our sons as he our fathers led.

• How innocent were these Trees, that in
  Mist-green May, blown by a prospering breeze,
  Stood garlanded and gay;
  Who now in sundown glow
  Of serious colour clad confront me with their show
  As though resigned and sad,
  Trees, who unwhispering stand umber, bronze, gold;
  Pavilioning the land for one grown tired and old;
  Elm, chestnut, aspen and pine, I am merged in you,
  Who tell once more in tones of time,
  Your foliaged farewell.
