The Bayonet ChargeCharles Granville
From “Poems of the Hour”
A
Glints in the sun
And shimmers in the wind—
The thing’s begun!
Grimly to kill;
A pack of wolves that rush
To take their fill;
And strikes the sky,
And stirs the dead who low
In silence lie;
A bloody sun;
A mist of reeking blades—
And it is done!
