The Nameless Laurel.
O hero unrecorded!
O Victor unrewarded!
O Conqueror uncrowned!
Thy fame should be undying;
And thou unknown art lying
Beneath a nameless mound!
O Victor unrewarded!
O Conqueror uncrowned!
Thy fame should be undying;
And thou unknown art lying
Beneath a nameless mound!
Mere earth in earth to perish,
No hero-name to cherish!
No story of thy deed!
Ours is the harvest golden,
While lost and unbeholden
In darkness dies the seed.
No hero-name to cherish!
No story of thy deed!
Ours is the harvest golden,
While lost and unbeholden
In darkness dies the seed.
