Shaemus O'Sheel Quotes

They Went Forth To Battle, But They Always Fell;
Their Eyes Were Fixed Above The Sullen Shields;
Nobly They Fought And Bravely, But Not Well,
And Sank Heart-wounded By A Subtle Spell.
They Knew Not Fear That To The Foeman Yields,
They Were Not Weak, As One Who Vainly Wields
A Futile Weapon; Yet The Sad Scrolls Tell
How On The Hard-fought Field They Always Fell.
It Was A Secret Music That They Heard,
A Sad Sweet Plea For Pity And For Peace;
And That Which Pierced The Heart Was But A Word,
Though The White Breast Was Red-lipped Where The Sword
Pressed A Fierce Cruel Kiss, To Put Surcease
On Its Hot Thirst, But Drank A Hot Increase.
Ah, They By Some Strange Troubling Doubt Were Stirred,
And Died For Hearing What No Foeman Heard.
