Bradby, Henry Christopher: April 1918 - ZaunköniG - 11.07.2007 April 1918 You, whose forebodings have been all fulfilled, You who have heard the bell, seen the boy stand Holding the flimsy message in his hand While through your heart the fiery question thrilled "Wounded or killed, which, which?"--and it was "Killed--" And in a kind of trance have read it, numb But conscious that the dreaded hour was come, No dream this dream wherewith your blood was chilled-- Oh brothers in calamity, unknown Companions in the order of black loss, Lift up your hearts, for your are not alone, And let our sombre hosts together bring Their sorrows to the shadow of the Cross And learn the fellowship of suffering. |
