Padraic Colum - Old Soldier
11 Views • Nov 10, 2014
Description
Hawking our bran from door to door,
While other men from the mill take their flour:
So it is to be an Old Soldier.
Old, bare and sore, we look on the hound
Turning upon the stiff frozen ground,
Nosing the mould, with the night around:
So it is to be an Old Soldier.
And we who once rang out like a bell,
Have nothing now to show or to sell;
Old bones to carry, old stories to tell:
So it is to be an Old Soldier.
Padraic Colum
