Well, how do you do, William Mcbride?Do you mind if I sit down here by your graveside?And rest for awhile in the warm summer sun,I've been walking all day, and I'm nearly done.And I see by your gravestone you were only 19When you joined the great fallen in 1916,I hope you died quick and I hope you died cleanOr, Willie Mcbride, was it slow and obscene?Did they beat the drum slowly, did the play the pipes lowly?Did the rifles fired over you as they lowered you down?Did the bugles sound the last post in chorus?Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest?And did you leave a wife or a sweetheart behindIn some loyal heart is your memory enshrined?And, though you died back in 1916,And that loyal heart are you forever 19?Or are you a stranger without even a name,Forever enshrined behind some glass pane,In an old photograph, torn and tattered and stained,And fading to yellow in a brown leather frame?The sun's shining down on these green fields of France;The warm wind blows gently, and the red poppies dance.The trenches have vanished long under the plow;No gas and no barbed wire, no guns firing now.But here in this graveyard that's still no man's landThe countless white crosses in mute witness standTo man's blind indifference to his fellow man.And a whole generation who were butchered and damned.
