Lament
Oh, my home!
My land of sunshine,
Of loving folk and
Gently Passing days.
You are gone!
Gone beneath the booted
Heel of WAR;
The million-legged worm
that crawls mindlessly across
My land and leaves behind
A tangled waste of broken lives
And lifeless bodies.


You have left me! Alone! Forlorn!
Atoss like a leaf upon the flood.
Wherever I would set my feet and rest,
I find--Despair.
You have rent the very fabric
Of my soul with your going.
You have fled my grasp,
And everywhere I turn I find---
The hated smell of WAR,
The acrid scent of
Ashes! Ashes!
Ashes in the wind!
