In the city square at night, the meeting of the torches. The start of the great march, The cries, the cheers, the parting. Marching in an order Through the familiar streets, Through friends for the last time seen. Marching with torches. Over the hill summit, The moon and the moor, And we marching alone. The torches are out. On the cold hill, The cheers of the warrior dead (For the first time re-seen) Marching in an order To where? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN |
