    And a man came out of the trees
    And took our horse by the head
    And reaching back to his ribs
    Deliberately stabbed him dead.

    But, where the road runs near the stream,
    Oft through the trees they catch a glance
    Of passing troops in the sun’s beam—
    Pennon, and plume, and flashing lance!
    Forth to the world those soldiers fare,
    To life, to cities, and to war!
    Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)
