I	A
	-
There had been years of Passion scorching cold	B
And much Despair and Anger heaving high	A
Care whitely watching Sorrows manifold	B
Among the young among the weak and old	B
And the pensive Spirit of Pity whispered Why	A
	-
II	A
	-
Men had not paused to answer Foes distraught	C
Pierced the thinned peoples in a brute like blindness	D
Philosophies that sages long had taught	C
And Selflessness were as an unknown thought	C
And Hell and Shell were yapped at Lovingkindness	D
	-
III	A
	-
The feeble folk at home had grown full used	E
To dug outs snipers Huns from the war adept	F
In the mornings heard and at evetides perused	E
To day dreamt men in millions when they mused	E
To nightmare men in millions when they slept	F
	-
IV	A
	-
Waking to wish existence timeless null	G
Sirius they watched above where armies fell	H
He seemed to check his flapping when in the lull	G
Of night a boom came thencewise like the dull	G
Plunge of a stone dropped into some deep well	H
	-
V	A
	-
So when old hopes that earth was bettering slowly	A
Were dead and damned there sounded War is done	I
One morrow Said the bereft and meek and lowly	A
Will men some day be given to grace yea wholly	A
And in good sooth as our dreams used to run	I
	-
VI	A
	-
Breathless they paused Out there men raised their glance	D
To where had stood those poplars lank and lopped	J
As they had raised it through the four years' dance	D
Of Death in the now familiar flats of France	D
And murmured Strange this How All firing stopped	J
	-
VII	A
	-
Aye all was hushed The about to fire fired not	K
The aimed at moved away in trance lipped song	L
One checkless regiment slung a clinching shot	K
And turned The Spirit of Irony smirked out What	M
Spoil peradventures woven of Rage and Wrong	L
	-
VIII	A
	-
Thenceforth no flying fires inflamed the gray	N
No hurtlings shook the dewdrop from the thorn	O
No moan perplexed the mute bird on the spray	N
Worn horses mused We are not whipped to day	N
No weft winged engines blurred the moon's thin horn	O
	-
IX	D
	-
Calm fell From Heaven distilled a clemency	D
There was peace on earth and silence in the sky	A
Some could some could not shake off misery	D
The Sinister Spirit sneered It had to be	D
And again the Spirit of Pity whispered Why	A
