“German Retreat From Arras”<br/>
“Official Films”-they came<br/>
After “Corinne and Her Minstrels”<br/>
Had ministered to fame.<br/>
<br/>
After “Corinne and Her Minstrels”<br/>
Had pigeon-toed away,<br/>
We saw where bits of churches<br/>
And bits of horses lay.<br/>
<br/>
We saw bleak desolation;<br/>
We saw no unscathed tree.<br/>
We shivered in our comfort<br/>
And murmured: “Can it be!”<br/>
<br/>
But later, walking homeward,<br/>
Repeating: “Is it true?”<br/>
We brushed a khaki shoulder<br/>
And asked no more. We knew!<br/></p>
