Close Up...
In the wee small hours,
600 men passed this way.
And nary a one, spoke a word.
Heavily armed, men of war.
Inside the houses.
Hushed, a slumber all.
Not even dogs ,nor cattle,
Heard the passing thrall!
Ever Onward they went.
Envious of those inside,
wrapped In duck down .
Oblivious to their passing.
