OXLADE FAMILY HISTORY
"Dwellers in the Valley of the Oaks"
For The Fallen
With
proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for
her dead across the sea.
Flesh
of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause
of the free.
Solemn
in drums thrill: Death august and royal
Signs sorrow up into
immortal spheres.
There is music in the midst of desolation
And
a glory that shines upon our tears.
They
went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb,
true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end
against odds uncounted,
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They
shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not
weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them
They
mingle not with their laughing comrades again:
They sit no more at
familiar tables at home;
They have no lot in our labor of the
daytime;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our
desires are and our hopes profound,
felt as a wellspring that is
hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they
are known
As the stars that are known to the Night.
As
the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches
upon the heavenly plain,
As the stars that are starry in the time
of our darkness,
to the end, to the end, they
remain.
