Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arbroath Abbey and Other Poems Before he left the sector, A bold course he conceived; He´d teach old Fritz a lesson Before he was relieved. His men from early morning Kept shining up till noon, Then he, trench tactics scorning, Could not begin too soon. It was a stroke of genius, If genius had been there To guide lest it deflected, Or shortened in the air. And when all things were ready He ordered the advance; The waves went over steady, Fritz ne´er had such a chance. At first he seemed to falter, O´ercome with blank surprise, But when the guns got talking He to the chance grew wise. In no mans country falling Like ripened swathes of grain, The man loss was appalling, The leaders all were slain. The ranks, shell-swept and broken, Back to the trench retired; Stunned with the heavy losses And many in rags attired; And where their comrades perished, With shell and shrapnel torn, Wild vows were made and cherished Long after that red morn.
