Alternate Author Name(s): Catlin, George E. G., Mrs.
Subject(s): London; World War Ii; Second World War
The purple asters lift their heads
Beneath the azure Autumn skies;
Above the sunflower's golden cup
Hover the scarlet butterflies.
Not in the sandbagged city street
Where London's silver guardians soar,
But through the cottage garden throbs
The aching grief of England's war.
