THE BLACK RIDERS: 14, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: There was crimson clash of war
Last Line: That still the reason was not.
Subject(s): War


There was crimson clash of war.
Lands turned black and bare;
Women wept;
Babes ran, wondering.
There came one who understood not these things.
He said, "Why is this?"
Whereupon a million strove to answer him.
There was such intricate clamour of tongues,
That still the reason was not.
