Strike on, Great Nations, wage new armaments, Spit on your swords!I like the gesture well. The "Field o' Glory" beckons. ... Never think That you may squeeze the bullets out in hell! Conjure new gases, that the living wine Of all that feed youfish and fowl and grain May wither into smoke! ... I only ask To watch your bodies rotting clean again. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...I AM YOUR WAITER TONIGHT AND MY NAME IS DIMITRI by ROBERT HASS MITRAILLIATRICE by ERNEST HEMINGWAY RIPARTO D'ASSALTO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY WAR VOYEURS by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA THE DREAM OF WAKING by RANDALL JARRELL THE SURVIVOR AMONG GRAVES by RANDALL JARRELL SO MANY BLOOD-LAKES by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE INTERNATIONALISTS by PHILIP M.
