Trail All Your Pikes
分类: 英语诗歌
Trail all your pikes,dispirit every drum,
March in a slow procession from afar,
Ye silent,ye dejected, men of war.
Be still the hautboys,and the flute be dumb!
Display no more,in vain,the lofty banner;
For see where on the bier before ye lies
The pale,the fall'n,the untimely sacrifice
To your mistaken shrine,to your false idol Honour.
