English poem
The Last Hero
by George William Russell (1867–1935)
width=300px|WE laid him to rest with tenderness; Homeward we turned in the twilight's gold; We thought in ourselves with dumb distress— All the story of earth is told.
A beautiful word at the last was said: A great deep heart like the hearts of old Went forth; and the speaker had lost the thread, Or all the story of earth was told.
