[War Poems]

The Western Front

At the Western Front where we defend

Among the dead bodies of foe and of friend

The guns and their bullets fire evermore

That is the sound of the Great World War

At the Western Front where we try to survive

Everyday more are dead and less are alive

You wake up in the morning, trembling with fear

Will I breathe my last breath on the Western Frontier?

At the Western Front with the death and destruction

We fight for our country, we fight for freedom

We are victorious, release the dove

I'm going home to the family I love.

We will remember them
