Europe (war)

Title:     Europe (war)
Author: Ella Wheeler Wilcox [More Titles by Wilcox]

Little lads and grandsires,
Women old with care;
But all the men are dying men
Or dead men over there.

No one stops to dig graves;
Who has time to spare?
The dead men, the dead men
How the dead men stare.

Kings are out a-hunting -
Oh, the sport is rare;
With dying men and dead men
Falling everywhere.

Life for lads and grandsires;
Spoils for kings to share;
And dead men, dead men,
Dead men everywhere.

[The end]
Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem: Europe (war)
