SAN SEBASTIAN

I served through the war that made Europe free;I wived me in peace-year. But, hid from men,I bear that mark on me.
"And I nightly stray on the Ivel WayAs though at home there were spectres rife;I delight me not in my proud career;And 'tis coals of fire that a gracious wifeShould have brought me a daughter dear!"
