John Irvin Alger

West Point, 1965

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Duncan MacVicar on February 17, 2010:

To John

With strength of character in present gaze
The man revealed, a power thus to know
From body broken, struggling with each phrase
A brilliant mind within, imprisoned so.

Yet at the finish line he led the race
A noble spirit for the world to see
With open arms accepted heav'ns embrace
Gave up the breath, and set the prisoner free.
