POEMS USED IN THE MEMORIAL GARDEN
'I Think of Those Who Were Truly Great'
Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields,
See how these names are feted in the waving grass
And by the streamers of the white cloud
And whispers of the wind in the listening sky.
The names of those who in their lives fought for life,
Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre.
Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
Stephen Spender - Spender's Collected Poems 1928 -53
