Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 24. The Obedient

Daily, though no ears attended,
  Did my prayers arise.	
Daily, though no fire descended
  Did I sacrifice.
Though my darkness did not lift,
  Though I faced no lighter odds,
Though the Gods bestowed no gift,
            None the less,
  None the less, I served the Gods!
