THE TORCH by ARTHUR B. DALE

First Line: TO YOU THE TORCH WE FLING
Last Line: WHOSE LIGHT WE'VE LET GO OUT?
"To you the torch we fling";
The challenge yet is heard,
Bequest of fullest sacrifice,
A life-demanding word.
Yet this thought with it comes,
A question tinged with doubt:
Shall we the torch to others pass
Whose light we've let go out?
