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.

A Hebrew knelt in the dying light, His eye was dim and cold,
The hairs on his brow were silver-white, And his blood was thin and old.

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