Death Of A Soldier Poem by Nick krakana

Death Of A Soldier

Rating: 4.0


The leaves they fell on the day
As thousands of his comrades carried him away

The Argilles of 1903 stationed there guns backwards for he
A reminder of brother in arms solidarity

As the pipes played there sad farewell
And the trees there leaves like tears did fell

They seemed to bid there own farewell
With a lonely sound of the only horse
Commissioned to draw his carriage down
Along the streets thru Hammer town

Freshly shoed the steed did click
November 11th comes all to quick

Please remenber my comrades and me
When next you see Remembrance Day
