I see you no more | B |
On the gravestone were my words inscribed | C |
Above your body which lies like a mold in the grave | D |
Underneath the sun | A |
You travelled far through the world pacifying | E |
With your Rifle you subdued the stirrer | B |
Your hat marked an end to up stir | B |
With poison charms war and sickness you have dwelled | F |
In baying you found courage | G |
In death you got fortitude | H |
Death slams down in the midst of your conversation | A |
You who stood alone by the window where cannons and missile fly past | I |
When your best friend died in the war you stood alone | J |
When you heard of your wife s death you still stood in the war for the country | B |
If a peon had fallen it wouldn t matter | B |
If a churl had been killed we would have moved on | K |
I question if you ve seen your friends for decades | L |
Your alertness saved me | B |
Your dexterity saved our country | B |
Until the last spill of your blood | M |
Until your trough ran out | N |
You stood to save us | O |
Oh captain Captain Captain | A |
His lips are pale | P |
His feet are cold | Q |
His pulse can t be felt | R |
I with a mournful soul | S |
Write to allay your heart | T |
I write to allay the tumult of your passion | A |
