<h3 id="Killed_in_Action">Killed in Action</h3>
<p>MY father lived his three-score years; my son lived twenty-two;<br/>
One looked long back on work well done, and one had all to do—<br/>
Yet which the better served his world, I know not, nor do you!</p>
<p>Life taught my father all her lore till he grew wise and gray,<br/>
She did but whisper to my son before she turned away—<br/>
Yet which her deepest secret held only they two might say.</p>
<p>Peace brought my father restful days, with love and fame for wage;<br/>
War gave my son an unmarked grave and an unwritten page—<br/>
Who shall declare which gift conveyed the greater heritage?</p>
