WARM DUSKY NIGHTS

ON WARM DUSKY NIGHTS,

WHERE NOW ONLY THE WEEDS STAND GUARD.

WATCHED OVER BY THE SAME MOON AND STARS

MEN ONCE FOUGHT AND DIED.







ON GROUND SCORCHED BY FIRE,GRASS NOW GROWS,

WHILE IN THE SILENT MOONLIT NIGHTS

MISTY GREY FIGURES RISE, READY FOR BATTLE

CARRYING ON A WAR LONG ENDED.







NO RATTLING GUN OR SCREAM OF SHELLS,

NO CRIES FROM WOUNDED OR THE DYING.

THE FIT HAVE GONE HOME NOW.

THE DEAD LIE WHERE THEY'VE FALLEN.
