L'Envoi
L'ENVOI by ROLAND LEIGHTON
Only a turn of head,
A good-bye lightly said,
And you set out to tread
Your manlier road.
Both our Youth's paths once met;
And think now we forget
How great a brothers' debt
To you is owed.
Sweep onward; and though Fame
Shall aureole your name,
Remember whence you came
In Boyhood days.
And in life''s darkening years
Look back on hopes and fears
Mingled with memory's tears
And blame and praise.
