World War Two Poems

WARTIME MEMORIES 1950

Rain and fog and sleet and snow.

Sun and sand and moonlight glow -

Heart of laughter heart of pain -

Treasured picture in a frame.

Verses scribbled in a book

Bits of heather, walks we took.

Melodies and half-lost rhymes -

All the myriad scattered lines.

Scents on breezes - daffodils,

Bluebells, clover, purple hills.

Air raid sirens - screeching bombs

Throbbing engines of the Huns.

“Douse that light” - “Your gas mask please”

“What’s that light there in the trees?”

We won’t forget, we who are left

We won’t forget - must not forget.

We pray to God, if God there be,

To save man from himself.
