Summary

Portrait of John Masefield John Masefield,  The Watch in the Wood

“ When Death has laid her in his quietude,
And dimmed the glow of her benignant star,
Her tired limbs shall rest within a wood,
In a green glade where oaks and beeches are,
Where the shy fawns, the pretty fawns, the deer,
With mild brown eyes shall view her spirit’s husk
