Additional quotes by Thomas Kibble Hervey

Wake, soldier, wake, thy war-horse waits To bear thee to the battle back;
Thou slumberest at a foeman’s gates,— Thy dog would break thy bivouac;
Thy plume is trailing in the dust
And thy red falchion gathering rust.

Like ships, that sailed for sunny isles, But never came to shore.

The hairs on his brow were silver-white, And his blood was thin and old.

He stood beside a cottage lone And listened to a lute, One summer’s eve, when the breeze was gone, And the nightingale was mute. - Thomas Kibble Hervey
