Hail worn-out paths and beaten shore!
Mankind has forgotten war.
No longer fear a threat or more;

All dead
Enter a dark
Netherworld to receive
Judgment from Pantheon below.

Folding! Roiling! Dropping!
Crashing! Soaking! Pooling!
Ebbing! Leaving! Holding!

How bright is Mr. Knight
When standing hat in hand;
His kite might take up flight
With an overfilling band.

Dawn was cool on a sunny morn,
Oh welcome the day Miss Rose was born!
Here in November,

Mankind Has Forgotten War
Hail worn-out paths and beaten shore!
Mankind has forgotten war.
