Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 33. Actors

On a Memorial Tablet in Holy Trinity Church,
Stratford-on-Avon

We counterfeited once for your disport
    Men's joy and sorrow: but our day has passed.
We pray you pardon all where we fell short—
    Seeing we were your servants to this last.
