YOUNG DEAD SOLDIERS CIRCA 1941 - ARCHIBALD MCLEISH 1892-1982
THE YOUNG NO LONGER SPEAK:
THEY HAVE A SILENCE THAT SPEAKS FOR THEM AT NIGHT.
THEY SAY: WE WERE YOUNG, REMEMBER US.
THEY SAY: WE HAVE DONE WHAT WE COULD, BUT UNTIL IS IS FINISHED, IT IS NOT DONE.
THEY SAY: OUR DEATHS ARE NOT OURS, THEY ARE YOURS; THEY WILL MEAN WHAT YOU MAKE THEM.
THEY SAY: WHETHER OURS LIVES AND OUR DEATHS WERE FOR PEACE AND A NEW HOPE,
WE CANNOT SAY, IT IS YOU WHO MUST SAY THIS.
THEY SAY, WE LEAVE YOU OUR DEATHS.
GIVE THEM THEIR MEANING.
