From "The King's Pilgrimage"

by Rudyard Kipling

All that they had, they gave—

They gave in sure and simple faith,

There can be no knowledge reach the grave

To make them grudge their death,

Save only if they understood

That after all was done,

We, the redeemed, denied their blood

And mocked the gains it won.
