Anthem For Doomed Youth
Anmerkungen:
- Anthem for doomed youth .
Written in 1917 by Wilfred Owen
What passing-bells for those who die as cattle?
Only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle
Can patter out their hasty orisons.
No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;
Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,
The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
What candles may be held to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
Shall shoe the holy glimmers of good-byes.
That pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each slow day a drawing-down of blinds.

- What passing bells for those who die as cattle
- No mockeries now for them; no prays nor bells;nor any voice of mourning save the choirs,

Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes
- And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds.
