Is this defencless port the place
That once I came to wreck?
Is nothing manned at my approach,
And no one armed on deck?
No, nothing now’s afloat to sink,
Nor on the shore invade
These by the coach are teachers.
These in the boat want trade.
And over old unhappy things
Pacific Ledgers mount,
Deals must have duplicates, and lives,
That had no copies count,
|
And children come with flowers
To place where teachers bid,
Who never heard of Goering,
Or ask what Goebbels did . . .
O glittering wings, so suddenly
high in the vacant blue,
Stay, till to-day dies normally,
And normal nights ensue!
Never again the premature,
Never again the pain.
And a rose for those who went in first,
And where they fall remain.
