“THE SPIRES OF OXFORD I saw the spires of Oxford As I was passing by,The gray spires of Oxford Against the pearl-gray sky.My heart was with the Oxford men Who went abroad to die. The years go fast in Oxford, The golden years and gay,The hoary Colleges look down On careless boys at play.But when the bugles sounded war They put their games away. They left the peaceful river, The cricket-field, the quad,The shaven lawns of Oxford, To seek a bloody sod”
