I fell. Nobody picked me up. All day the cars went over me— The light tanks and the heavy tanks, The thunderous artillery. Now all my bones are powder-fine; The stones are grouted with my blood; I am become the road—the way— I thank thee, Fuehrer. It is good. All that thou bade me, that I did; Gave gladly all I had to give. Great Fuehrer, let thy will be done— But yet I would have liked to live! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND BLESSED EVENT (THERE WERE ALSO SOME CASUALTIES) by ADA JACKSON |
