Voices from Ypres

We are alone
We are not rested here
the battle over,
the songs of sorrow are long

And our days of misery
are not worth the agony our memory holds
And to us, not you
it now belongs.

God give us the grace,
the blessings now required
to live our lives
of misery they do contain
in peaceful sorrow we have to remain
and you, in your living have no idea,
but genuflect

Pity help us
why you cannot rest
our lives of who we are
to now in sorrow
deeply sadden do attest.
