at senlis once by edmund blunden - the war poetry society lyrics lyrics

Loading...

how comely it was and how reviving
when with clay and with death no longer striving
down firm roads we came to houses
with women chattering and green grass thriving

now though rains in a cataract descended
we could glow, with our tribulation ended—
count not days, the present only
was thought of, how could it ever be expended?

clad so cleanly, this remnant of poor wretches
picked up life like the hens in orchard ditches
gazed on the mill+sails, heard the church+bell
found an honest glass all manner of riches

how they crowded the barn with l+sty laughter
hailed the pierrots and shook each shadowy rafter
even could ridicule their own sufferings
sang as though nothing but joy came after!
