The Fox hunter

 

We found the little captain at the head;

His men lay well-aligned.

We touched his hand and he was dead,

And they, all dead behind,

Had never reached their goal, but they died well;

They charged in line, and in the same line fell.

 

They well-known rosy colours of his face

Were almost lost in grey.

We saw that, dying and in hopeless case,

For others' sake that day

He'd smothered all rebellious groans: in death

His fingers were tight clenched between his teeth.

 

For those who live uprightly and die true

Heaven has no bars or locks,

And serves all taste...or what's for him to do

Up there, but hunt the fox?

Angelic choirs? No, Justice must provide

For one who rose straight and in hunting died.

 

So if Heaven had no Hunt before he came,

Why, it must find one now:

If any shirk and doubt they know the game,

There's one to teach them how:

And the whole host of Seraphim complete

Must jog in scarlet to his opening Meet.

All the best! What a way to go, one I am sure most of us would choose.
