      • Dedication: To Bertha
        Rest, for your eyes are weary, girl; you have driven the worst away;
        The ghost of the man that I might have been is gone from my heart to-day!
        We'll live for life and the best it brings till our twilight shadows fall:
        My heart grows brave, and the world, my girl, is a good world after all.

      • Epigraph: 'They hurry the blacksheep down to the ships-
        Society's banned and cursed-
        And the boys look back as the old land dips:
        Some with a reckless laugh on their lips,
        And some with a prayer reversed.
        And it's 'Good-bye, England!' and Good-bye, Love!'
        And -perhaps it is just as well...-Will Ogilvie.
