Poem by Rudyard Kipling

«Epitaphs of the War». 1914-1918. 5. Ex-clerk

Pity not!    The Army gave 
Freedom to a timid slave: 
In which Freedom did he find 
Strength of body, will, and mind: 
By which strength he came to prove 
Mirth, Companionship, and Love: 
For which Love to Death he went: 
In which Death he lies content.
