War Pictures

“GERMAN Retreat From Arras”—

“Official Films”—they came

After “Corinne and Her Minstrels”

Had ministered to fame.

After “Corinne and Her Minstrels”

Had pigeon-toed away,

We saw where bits of churches

And bits of horses lay.

We saw bleak desolation;

We saw no unscathed tree.

We shivered in our comfort

And murmured: “Can it be!”

But later, walking homeward,

Repeating: “Is it true?”

We brushed a khaki shoulder

And asked no more. We knew!
