"Among the few things
I brought with me
Is a silver cross
From your uniform
Of the First World War...."
The soldier's letter ran on,
But I paused in thought
While tears filled my eyes;
For he was but a lad
When I took the cross
From my faded coat
And gave it to him.
Among the few things--
That is all the world has;
A cross on a Hill.
