A. P. M.

THE GRAVES OF GALLIPOLI

The herdman wandering by the lonely rills

Marks where they lie on the scarred mountain’s flanks,

Remembering that wild morning when the hills

Shook to the roar of guns and those wild ranks

Surged upward from the sea.

None tends them. Flowers will come again in spring,

And the torn hills and those poor mounds be green.
