They throw in Drummer Hodge, to rest.
Uncoffined just as found:
His landmark is a kopje-crest.
That breaks the veldt around:
And foreign constellations west.
Each night above his mound.
Young Hodge the drummer never knew
Fresh from his Wessex home
The meaning of the broad Karoo,
The Bush, the dusty loam,
And why uprose to nightly view.
Strange stars amid the gloam.
Yet portion of that unknown plain.
Will Hodge for ever be;
His homely Northern breast and brain.
Grow to some Southern tree,
And strange-eyed constellations reign.
His stars eternally.
