FAREWELL
Read in my book. If you think I am wrong
There to chastise any lapse from the splendid
Glow of the Game in my youth, I unfold
Proudly the Flag that my Father defended.

Read in my book. If unkindness were meant,
Now, on this ultimate page, I should falter.
Softness and slowness are evils. My verse
Carries no phrase that the Verseman will alter.

Softness and slowness are evils. My verse
Carries no phrase that the Verseman will alter.
Read in my book. Try to learn how I love
Cricket, the masterful agent for fusing,
Year after year, all the citizen grades
England has used, and will use, and is using.
