The Black Smoke Eddied And Wavered As It Rose Over My Father'S Burning Hall, And Then The Little Sea Breeze Took It And Swept It Inland Over The Heath-Clad Caithness Hills Which I Loved.

Round The Walls, Beyond Reach Of Smoke And Heat, Stood The Foemen Who Had Wrought The Harm, And Nearer The Great Door Lay Those Of Our Men Who Had Fallen At The First. There Were Foemen There Also, For It Had Been A Good Fight. [more]
