Francis William Bourdillon (1852–1921)

Poems of the Great War: Here: and There

SOFT benediction of September sun;

Voices of children, laughing as they run;

Green English lawns, bright flowers and butterflies;

And over all the blue embracing skies.

Tumult and roaring of the incessant gun;

Dead men and dying, trenches lost and won;

Blood, mud, and havoc, bugles, shoutings, cries;

And over all the blue embracing skies.
