Elegy In A Country Churchyard
The man that worked for EnglandThey have their graves at home:And bees and birds of EnglandAbout the cross can roam.
But they fought for England,Following a falling star,Alas, alas foe EnglandThey have their grave afar.
And they that rule in England,In stately conclave met,Alas, alas foe EnglandThey have no graves as yet.
[Gilbert Keith Chesterton, 1922]
