Breathless, we flung us on the windy hill, Laughed in the sun, and kissed the lovely grass. You said, Through glory and ecstasy we pass; Wind, sun, and earth remain, the birds sing still, When we are old, are old. . . . And when we die Alls over that is ours; and life burns on Through other lovers, other lips, said I, — Heart of my heart, our heaven is now, is won! We are Earths best, that learnt her lesson here. Life is our cry. We have kept the faith! we said; We shall go down with unreluctant tread Rose-crowned into the darkness! . . . Proud we were, And laughed, that had such brave true things to say. — And then you suddenly cried, and turned away. (Rupert Brooke. The Hill, 1910)
