The Schoolfellow

  Our game was his but yesteryear;

    We wished him back; we could not know

    The self-same hour we missed him here

    He led the line that broke the foe.

    Blood-red behind our guarded posts

    Sank as of old and dying day;

    The battle ceased; the mingled hosts

    Weary and cheery went their way:

    "To-morrow well may bring," we said,

    "As fair a fight, as clear a sun."

    Dear Lad, before the world was sped,

    For evermore thy goal was won.
