The Great War

Into His colour store God dipped His hand

And drew it forth

Full of strange hues forgotten, contraband

Of War and Wrath.

The quick and dead

Might knit their bleeding crosses in. And lo!

A patch of red!

Of bordered green

And gravel brown

In misty town,

And chimneys smoky and unclean
