Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,Īnd each slow dusk a drawing down of blinds.Ī video performance of the poem can be found here: Ī) Gas attacks in World War 1 and the horror of warī) Soldiers sending letters home and lying about what has happened to themĬ) The fact they will be no proper funerals for the dead young soldiers The pallor of girls’ brows shall be their pall Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes What candles may be held to speed them all? The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells Īnd bugles calling for them from sad shires. Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, – No mockeries now for them no prayers nor bells, What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? ![]()
