1815-1915
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO TO-DAY
TO MY GRANDFATHER WHO FOUGHT AT WATERLOO
Affectionately Dedicated to
my Four Paternal Aunts.
Once more the unsheathed sword, once more the speeding shell;
Once more unleashing of the Hounds of Hell;
The Nations rage together, and again
The Kings are joined for battle on the plain;
Old Europe armed goes forth to smite and slay,
Just as a Hundred Years to-day!
Once more unleashing of the Hounds of Hell;
The Nations rage together, and again
The Kings are joined for battle on the plain;
Old Europe armed goes forth to smite and slay,
Just as a Hundred Years to-day!
