   Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead! 

   There’s none of these so lonely and poor of old,

   But dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.

   These laid the world away; poured out the red 

   Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be

   Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene.

   That men call age; and those who would have been, 

   Their sons, they gave their immortality.  

   Blow, bugles, blow!        Rupert Brooke.

   These happily returned
