Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The White Comrade: And Other Poems The White Comrade A Canadian soldier, wounded at Ypres, speaks So this green land is England! Her we saw Radiant and smiling in our early dreams, A land by love dream-haunted. Now we come With stranger vision than our youth could give To the great shelter of her mighty arms. We come from battles bitter and long fought To see the stars shining on village streets And watch a country in midsummer calm - A soft land, lying August-clad but chill, Dull to Canadian eyes that know the sun As it stalks red across an azure sky. And as we limp about and smoke, play cards, And wait impatient to be off again, Sometimes we two, amid the comrades here, - Two only of the three who started out, For, in the wood at Julien, Edward fell - Sometimes we two go silent, then look up To see if we can find in other´s eyes A knowledge that has grown with us from out The fields of France, when in those awful nights, Some of us heard a rumor, saw a Form. Then we look back unto that strange new hour When time was suddenly transformed for us Within a sleepy town near old Quebec.
