Shall we not lay our Holly wreath
Here at the foot of this High cross ?
We do not know, perhaps a breath
Of our remembering may come
To them at least where they are sleeping,
They are quiet, they are dumb
No more of mirth, no more of weeping,
Silent Christmas they are keeping
Ours the sorrow, ours the loss.

Diana Guerney 1918
