IN THE MEDITERRANEAN - GOING TO THE WAR by FRANCIS LEDWIDGE

First Line: LOVELY WINGS OF GOLD AND GREEN
Last Line: IN MY HEART A NEWER SONG.
Subject(s): MEDITERRANEAN SEA; WORLD WAR I; FIRST WORLD WAR;

LOVELY wings of gold and green
Flit about the sounds I hear,
On my window when I lean
To the shadows cool and clear.

. . . .

Roaming, I am listening still,
Bending, listening overlong,
In my soul a steadier will,
In my heart a newer song.
