How Shall we Remember Them?

— a poem about the grist —

Sitting out in Sidar’s chair

Sullen, somber, sorrowful

Fair views which fell the fighter’s peaks

Fall all alone somewhere 

Lost amidst the tender mists

Where forlorn fighters fell their faces

Concealing shames of flushing cheeks

Ever-dead and useless grists

We cannot sing for the forlorn

Though they need it so—

Sing instead by Sidar’s creek

Stand up beside the borne

Sing oh the Earth and Skies and Flowers in Bloom
