The Red Flag And Other Poems

Excerpt from The Red Flag: And Other Poems The Red Flag. These is peace in London! Not here, as yonder, men blaspheming loud, Begrimed with slaughter, cruelly aflame, Drag some dishevelled woman through the crowd To shoot her with a blundering blind aim: She with her hopeless hunted face of fear Grovelling falls, and to her dying ear Pierce her foul fellows with inhuman jeer. There, all along the fair arcaded street Where they are murdering, in sacks lie thrown Dead men and women; there the dainty feet Were wont to loiter; there the brilliants shown Lured eyes that vied in lustre with their own. But these are ghastly, whence the warm life-flood Oozing hath stained the flags with human blood! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
