GUNS of Verdun point to Metz From the plated parapets; Guns of Metz grin back again O'er the fields of fair Lorraine. Guns of Metz are long and grey, Growling through a summer day; Guns of Verdun, grey and long, Boom an echo of their song. Guns of Metz to Verdun roar, "Sisters, you shall foot the score;" Guns of Verdun say to Metz, "Fear not, for we pay our debts." Guns of Metz they grumble, "When?" Guns of Verdun answer then, "Sisters, when to guard Lorraine Gunners lay you East again!" | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOVER MOURNS FOR THE LOSS OF LOVE by WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS THE SCHOLAR GIPSY by MATTHEW ARNOLD THE MAD GARDENER'S SONG by CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON HISTORY OF A LIFE by BRYAN WALLER PROCTER THE ROVER O' LOCHRYAN by HEW AINSLIE WORLD-MILLER by FRANCES BARBER |
