WARS HORRORS.

The horror Of war is there
The dead and dying bear witness
Confirmed BY the widows tear.
BY the countless thousands made
desolate
By the hand Of death and war.
The dreadful crash Of cannon
Is heard IN front and rear
Grim-visaged men and desperate
Yet in the face that fear
OF death
They see the upturned face,
And hear the tramp Of men
Marching in the face Of death
TO the awful slaughter pen.
What is that terrible smell?
The stencil Of rotting men
No time to bury the luckless one,
No not by his fellow men.
The dead must lie unburied
Their dirges be unsung
Except by the kissing bullets
And the cannons fiery tongue,
Men must smell their flesh and
blood
Decayed by the hand of death
Must breathe the carron-iaden air
With every inspired breath.
Besieged by death and armies
How much can men endure?
The hills adorned with cannon
What hopes can they assure?
To men inside Of shattered walls
That crumble night and day
AS missiles by the thousands strike
And tear the parts away.
At night weird red glare
A kissing DER your head
A red hot bomb falls in the ranks,
And leaves score of dead
Disiigured by murderous shell
Sent by a hostile band.
They see the work of death dis
played
And give a joyful yell.
A lurid flame leaps up in sight
Shedding light around
Reveals the upturned faces white
And yet that awful sound.
The bivouac fires burn dimly
Along the rivers side
The enemy camps in silence
With darkness as their guide
Except when the cannons flash
Then a red mouth opens wide
Speaking in tones of death
That echoes far and wide.
The shrieking shells are speeding
Toward the city walls to light
Upon the guarded breast works
And there explode with might
A scene of death and carnage
Exists most everywhere
The means Of wounded dying
Stirs n the midnight air
Histl What dull low sound?
AS the battle lulls to rest
Measured strokes beneath the
ground
The sappers awful test
Of digging meath the ramparts
Of city doomed to fall
Besieged by land and sea
Above in air and all
The elements combine to work.
'Gainst Europe's olden pride
And sink the "Spear of Asia"
Into her bleeding side.
Worlds look on in pity
AS nations writhe in war
To see the youthful thousands
slain
Bearing the battle scar.
The Christian hearts sheds tears
Der mounds Of uppiled clay
But tears are vainly shed
For war speeds not away
The Angel of Peace has flown
With pinions scorched with flame,
With features smoked and black
ened
And garments dyed with stain
That shines as red as rubies
Dyed in the blood Of youth
Spilled on a thousand battlefelds
Supporting the great untruth
That War is nations honor
That blood is the robe Of fame
Battlefelds fates gardens
Where grow no weeds Of shame
VIII nations ever dare
To insult the God of War;
Leave him lone unworshipped
Amid the wastes Of war
To die Of thirst for blood
Mong'st the bones of darkened
past
The bones Of countless millions
What a CHASTITY picture cast
On the worlds horizon dimly
Are the skull bones piled in stacks
The sacrificed to the "God of War"
By host of heartless acts
