"Well He Slumbers, Greatly Slain"

Title:     "Well He Slumbers, Greatly Slain"
Author: William Watson [More Titles by Watson]

Well he slumbers, greatly slain,
Who in splendid battle dies;
Deep his sleep in midmost main
Pillowed upon pearl who lies.

Ease, of all good gifts the best,
War and wave at last decree:
Love alone denies us rest,
Crueller than sword or sea.

[The end]
William Watson's poem: "Well He Slumbers, Greatly Slain"
