Did not cry, “’Tis well, O brothers,
That ye come so far to see us.”
(After all there was no reason
Why on earth they should have done so.)
But they stood and watched the Dudshires
Marching through their ancient city,
Slipping on their cobbled roadway,
Giving “Eyes Left” to a Greek guard;
Stood and watched them from their doorways,
Watched them through their grimy windows,
