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!
