Soldier's Song

Back to Poetry Index

Let me fly on wings of power
To find myself in some strange hour
Where men are pawns in others' games
Written down in halls of names
Where many are dead but still not buried
Corpses rot and are not hurried
For the memory of some are still to be found
In old men's minds not quite so sound
In memorandum fifty years on
The fallen soldier's chosen song

Phil Brennán 1994
