The Lists
By Alice Gore-Jones
These are the lists
of death:
They were so young!
Brave valiant hearts
Who loved the earth and sun,
The stir of life,
And joy's swift ardent breath.
They were so young!
Brave valiant hearts
Who loved the earth and sun,
The stir of life,
And joy's swift ardent breath.
These are the lists:
When shall their memory fade?
The nations best beloved of her sons,
Her shining, high, immortal, steadfast ones;
Honour, not death,
Has sealed their accolade.
When shall their memory fade?
The nations best beloved of her sons,
Her shining, high, immortal, steadfast ones;
Honour, not death,
Has sealed their accolade.
