TRUCE by WALTER JOHN DE LA MARE

Poet Analysis

First Line: FAR INLAND HERE DEATH'S PINIONS MOCKED THE ROAR
Last Line: US AND OUR ENEMIES.

Far inland here Death's pinions mocked the roar
Of English seas;
We sleep to wake no more,
Hushed, and at ease;
Till sound a trump, shore on to echoing shore,
Rouse from a peace, unwonted then to war,
Us and our enemies.
