BUGLE SONG OF PEACE; A PROPHECY FOR MEMORIAL DAY, by THOMAS CURTIS CLARK First Line: Blow, bugle, blow! Last Line: The day has dawned at last. Subject(s): Bugles; Holidays; Memorial Day; Peace; Veterans Day; War; Declaration Day | ||||||||
Blow, bugle, blow! The day has dawned at last. Blow, blow, blow! The fearful night is past; The prophets realize their dreams. Lo! in the east the glory gleams. Blow, bugle, blow! The day has dawned at last. Blow, bugle, blow! The soul of man is free. The rod and sword of king and lord Shall no more honored be; For God alone shall govern men, And Love shall come to earth again. Blow, bugle, blow! The soul of man is free. Blow, bugle, blow! Though rivers run with blood, All greed and strife, and lust for life, Are passing with the flood. The gory beast of war is cowed; The world's great heart with grief is bowed. Blow, bugle, blow! The day has dawned at last. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MEMORIAL DAY by JOSEPHINE MILES MEMORIAL DAY FOR THE WAR DEAD by YEHUDA AMICHAI MEMORIAL DAY by MICHAEL ANANIA AN ODE ON THE UNVEILING OF THE SHAW MEMORIA BOSTON COMMON, MAY 31, 1897 by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH FREDERICKSBURG by THOMAS BAILEY ALDRICH THE DEATH OF GRANT by AMBROSE BIERCE MEMORIAL DAY by WILLIAM E.
