REVEILLE, by RONALD LEWIS CARTON Poet's Biography
First Line: In the place to which I go
Last Line: Will god tell us who has won?

First Line: In the place to which I go
Last Line: Will god tell us who has won?
Subject(s): World War I - Casualties
IN the place to which I go,
Better men than I have died.
Freeman friend and conscript foe,
Face to face and side by side,
In the shallow grave abide.
Melinite that seared their brains,
Gas that slew them in a snare,
War's inferno of strange pains,
What are these to them who share
That great boon of silence there?
When like blood the moon is red;
And a shadow hides the sun,
We shall wake, the so-long dead,
We shall know our quarrel done,—
Will God tell us who has won?
