Collected Poems Of The Great War A Century On


No. 13. - DISTANT FOREIGN FIELDS ? by ALAN S JEEVES I know NOT this place, why should I stray here ? I know NOT this place, why should I march here ? I know NOT this place, why should I be brave here ? I know NOT this place, why should I lie here ? I know NOT these foreign fields, why should I pray here ? I know NOT these foreign fields, why should I awake here ? I know NOT these foreign fields, why should I laugh here ? I know NOT these foreign fields, why should I cry here ? I know NOT this day, why should I stay here ? I know NOT this day, why should I fight here ? I know NOT this day, Why should I crusade here ? I know NOT this day, why should I die here ?
