Poem English
John Wardlaw Stevens
You left to go off to war
“I will come back” was what you swore
you left many people behind
because there was another task to you assigned
you travelled far over sea
to horrible things you didn’t foresee
you died at Polygon wood
fighting for what was good
you were only 26 years old
you had many more years to come you were told
You left to go off to war
“I will come back” was what you swore
you left many people behind
because there was another task to you assigned
you travelled far over sea
to horrible things you didn’t foresee
you died at Polygon wood
fighting for what was good
you were only 26 years old
you had many more years to come you were told
