Poem - "To My Brother" by Siegfried Sassoon

"To My Brother" 
by Siegfried Sassoon

Give me your hand, my brother, search my face;

Look in these eyes lest I should think of shame;
For we have made an end of all things base.
We are returning by the road we came.

Your lot is with the ghosts of soldiers dead,

And I am in the field where men must fight.
But in the gloom I see your laurell’d head
And through your victory I shall win the light.
