FLOWER OF YOUTH


“Behind that long and lonely trenched line
To which men come and go, where brave men die,
There is an unmarked, unknown place,
A broken plot, a soldier’s shrine.
There lie the flower of youth, 
To live when languished Liberty:
Across their graves unadorned
scream shells of each artillery.
When war shall cease this lonely spot
Of many a pilgrimage will be the end,
And flowers will shine in this now barren plot
And fame upon it through the years descend:
But many a heart upon each simple cross
Will hang the grief, the memory of  loss.”

Commissioned by Voices of Birralee and suitable for ANZAC day.
