THE MOURNERS - Robert W. Service
Rhymes of a Red Cross Man
Robert W. Service
To the Memory of
My Brother,
LIEUTENANT ALBERT SERVICE
Canadian Infantry
Killed in Action, France
August, 1916.
I look into the aching womb of night;
I look across the mist that masks the dead;
The moon is tired and gives but little light,
The stars have gone to bed.
The earth is sick and seems to breathe with pain;
A lost wind whimpers in a mangled tree;
I do not see the foul, corpse-cluttered plain,
The dead I do not see.
The slain I /would/ not see . . . and so I lift
My eyes from out the shambles where they lie;
When lo! a million woman-faces drift
Like pale leaves through the sky.
The cheeks of some are channelled deep with tears;
But some are tearless, with wild eyes that stare
Into the shadow of the coming years
Of fathomless despair.
And some are young, and some are very old;
And some are rich, some poor beyond belief;
Yet all are strangely like, set in the mould
Of everlasting grief.
They fill the vast of Heaven, face on face;
And then I see one weeping with the rest,
Whose eyes beseech me for a moment's space. . . .
Oh eyes I love the best!
Nay, I but dream. The sky is all forlorn,
And there's the plain of battle writhing red:
God pity them, the women-folk who mourn!
How happy are the dead!

New Orleans
New Orleans

Washington, Oh Washington are you listening
When will you end this misguided war and rebuild New Orleans
Late in the night I awoke, as if in a dream
America brought down New Orleans
Washington, Oh Washington are you listening
When will you end this misguided war and rebuild New Orleans
Late in the night I awoke, as if in a dream
America brought down Washington
To rebuild New Orleans
The people that have made you great, are in a terrible need
Come down from your ivory tower and roll up your sleeve
Ask the Democrats and Republications are you truly brave and free
Won't you bring down Washington and rebuild New Orleans
You have abandoned us with only one hope,
you'll brings the Boy's back home
Tell them that our land is gone
That's something worth fighting for
Washington, Oh Washington are you listening
When will you end this misguided war and rebuild New Orleans
Washington, Oh Washington are you listening
The people that have made you great are in a terrible need
Late last night I awoke, as if in a dream
America brought down Washington
To rebuild New Orleans
America brought down Washington
To rebuild New Orleans
