AFTER THE WAR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: All of our wrongs shall be righted
Last Line: After the war?
Subject(s): World War I; First World War


All of our wrongs shall be righted
After the war;
None of our tasks will be slighted
After the war;
Women will all be gay,
Children will sing and play,
All our investments will pay
After the war.

Nothing at sixes and sevens
After the war;
All of our hells will be heavens
After the war;
Weary will get a rest,
Misery will be blest,
Worst will become the best
After the war.

What if, readier-hearted
During the war,
Some of these good things were started
During the war?
Wouldn't we multiply
The chances that you and I
Might be happy by and by,
After the war?
