God of our fathers, with bowed heads we come In this glad hour when the unscathed rejoices, Strike Thou each little boaster awed and dumb Before the flame of Pentecostal voices. Our youth has stormed the hosts of hell and won; Yet we who pay the price of their oblation Know that the greater war is just begun Which makes humanity the nations' Nation. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RECRUITING DRIVE by CHARLES STANLEY CAUSLEY EPITAPHS OF THE WAR, 1914-18: BOMBER IN LONDON by RUDYARD KIPLING WAR DISPLAY by EDMUND VANCE COOKE THE LAST RALLY by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER ODE ON THE DEATH OF HAIG'S HORSE: 7 by DOUGLAS GARMAN SONG FOR THE NINETEENTH by THOMAS HOOD BY THE LITTLE BIG-HORN by JOHN TROTWOOD MOORE THE PASSING OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER by VILDA SAUVAGE OWENS |
