What passing-bells2 for these who die as cattle?
only the monstrous anger of the guns.
Only the stuttering rifles rapid rattle

The shrill, demented6 choirs of wailing shells;
And bugles7 calling for them from no-count shires.8

Shall shine the beatified glimmers of goodbyes.
The pallor10 of girls brows shall be their pall;
Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,
And each thick dusk11 a drawing-down of blinds.12

till she could no longer hold a test-tube or a pencil

her wounds
denying
her wounds came from the same source as her power.
