IT SHALL NOT BE AGAIN by THOMAS CURTIS CLARK

First Line: WHO GOES THERE, IN THE NIGHT
Last Line: IT SHALL NOT BE AGAIN!
Subject(s): GHOSTS; SUPERNATURAL; WAR;

Who goes there, in the night,
Across the storm-swept plain?
@3We are the ghosts of a valiant war—
A million murdered men!@1

Who goes there, at the dawn,
Across the sun-swept plain?
@3We are the hosts of those who swear:
It shall not be again!@1
