TO LIFE by ANNA BUNSTON DE BARY

First Line: THE KEEN PURSUIT IS MORE THAN CAPTIVE PREY
Last Line: THEN SOUND THE ONSET! CHANCE THE LAST AWARD!
Subject(s): LIFE;

THE keen pursuit is more than captive prey,
Mine be the ringing steel, the flashing sword;
I claim the fight, and not the victor's bay—
Then sound the onset! Chance the last award!
