More Songs by the Fighting Men Where together men and torture

Lived with foul death hand and hand,

Horror-stricken, God-forsaken,

There stretched far the war-cursed land.

And upon the stretches barren

Far I saw the thousands lie

That the wind of war had blasted,

Sweeping on without a sigh;

In the hollows, huddled hundreds

Who were not afraid to die. 126
