RESURGAM, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Exiled afar from youth and happy love
Last Line: Back into earthly flesh that was its loved abode.
Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings


Exiled afar from youth and happy love,
If Death should ravish my fond spirit hence
I have no doubt but, like a homing dove,
It would return to its dear residence,
And through a thousand stars find out the road
Back into earthly flesh that was its loved abode.
