Excerpt from Famous Generals of the Great War Who Led the United States and Her Allies to a Glorious Victory
To Quentin Roosevelt:
Buried In France
Son of a fighting sire,
Bred from a vent'rous strain,
Your eagle-blood has paid the price,
You lie among the slain.
On fleeting plane you met your death,
You fell from cloudy space,
Your bleeding form lies where you struck;
Scion of a battling race.
Here's to you! noble-hearted youth! -
The world needs men like you;
Here's to your crushed and bleeding form,
Hurled crashing from the blue!
With reverent hands we'll place a stone,
Where you lie cold and gray;
A tribute of our debt to France, -
Which you helped to repay.
