In one poem, this poet concluded that in order to "be a man, my son," you must possess such traits as being able to "keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you," while another of his poems concerns a "regimental bhisti," who gives his life to save the narrator.
This poet wrote of a character who goes back to his job again, "Not so easy to rob again" because he spent "my nights and my days with hogs," while a painting by Burne-Jones inspired his poem about a fool who "made his prayer," to a rag and a bone," titled "The Vampire." In addition to "The Prodigal Son," this poet concluded every stanza with a reference to "a trail that is always new," in his "L'envoi." Another of his poems takes the form of a conversation between Files-on-Parade and the Colour-Sergeant, while another poem laments that "all our pomp of yesterday is one with Nineveh and Tyre!" That poem, addressed to "God of our fathers, known of old" ends each stanza with the refrain "Lest we forget lest we forget!" and is titled "Recessional."
