VERSE
FINAL LEAVE “So short a while to stay—so much to see, To say and hear, and do, so much to know, So many unrelenting tasks to fill The tantalising hours before you go. “So short a while—so much we dare not say, Or even dare to think, lest one quick tear Break down our brave but clumsy barricades, And leave us naked in a world of fear.” —B. Myfanwy Hacock, in the “Western Mail,” England.
