684 THE QUICK JIAECH OF THE FOURTEENTH REGIMENT.
His grave lay deep in dust, before
They pealed through Belgian corn-crops, when
The baffled Eagle fell, no more
To tear the hearts of men.
Yes, he died young, and all in vaLa
"We dream how much he left undone.
Painting, \ipon an idle brain,
The glorious course he should have run.
Forgotten by the reckless years,
He rests apart — and makes no sign-
Even his proud march no longer cheers
The Fourteenth of the Liae.
StUl, if elsewhere of this no trace
Remain, by some as worthy deed,
Oh, youthful soldiers of his race,
Against oblivion for it plead.
Thus, if his death-lamp have gi'own dim,
Re-light it; thus force Time to spare
This leaf of laurel, earned by him
For the old name we bear.
