<p dir="ltr">Love have I known, and dawn and gold of day-time,<br>And winds and songs and all the joys that are<br>Known once, and as a child that tires with play-time,<br>Leaped from them to the elemental dust of War.</p><p>I have seen blood and death, but all has ending,<br>And even Horror is but made to cease;<br>I am sickened with Love that lives only for lending,<br>And all the loathsome pettiness of peace.</p><p>Give me, God of Battles, a field of death,<br>A Hill of Fire, a strong man's agony . . .</p>
