You, whose greatcoats were lithely streaming, Reminiscent of broad sails, Whose voice and spurs were gaily ringing Like silver bells, Whose eyes, like diamonds, were leaving On hearts their delightful trace, -- The charming fops of vanished being In time and space. With help of heartened aspiration You conquered hearts and rocky walls, -- The kings in every field of action And at the balls. For you -- stiff bread was no wander, And greatest mountains were flats, O, young and passionate commanders Of own fates! In single gallop, fierce and risky, You passed your shortest lives and glow -- And your ambitious curls and whiskers Sank under snow. You all were winning and enjoying And love and edges of a sword... And with a sunny smile were going Out the world.
