DUNKIRK by SUSAN D'ARCY CLARK

First Line: THEY LOOKED AT DEATH
Last Line: "IMMORTALS THESE,"" AND LAID HIS SCYTHE AWAY."
Subject(s): DEATH; DUNKIRK, FRANCE; IMMORTALITY; WORLD WAR II; DEAD, THE; SECOND WORLD WAR;
They looked at Death,
And with him nonchalantly passed the time of day,
He paused bewildered—said beneath his breath
"Immortals these," and laid his scythe away.
