ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH = Wilfred Owen | |||
What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?+- Only the monstrous anger of the guns. | |||
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle | |||
Can patter out their hasty orisons. | |||
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; | |||
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - | |||
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; | |||
And bugles calling for them from sad shires. | |||
What candles may be held to speed them all? | |||
Not in the hand of boys but in their eyes | |||
Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes. | |||
The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall; | |||
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds, | |||
And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.}} | |||
