'I wear a cross of bronze,' he said,
'and men have told me I was brave.'
He turned his head,
And pointing to a grave,
'they told me that my work of war was done.'
His fierce mouth set.
'and yet, and yet...'
he trembled where he stood,
'and yet, and yet'...
I have not won
That broken cross of wood.
Leon Gellert (1892 - 1977) Australia
