Black lake, black boat, two black, cut-paper people.
Where do the black trees go that drink here?
Their shadows must cover Canada.

A little light is filtering from the water flowers.
Their leaves do not wish us to hurry:
They are round and flat and full of dark advice.

Cold worlds shake from the oar.
The spirit of blackness is in us, it is in the fishes.
A snag is lifting a valedictory, pale hand;

Stars open among the lilies.
Are you not blinded by such expressionless sirens?
This is the silence of astounded souls.

 In the city set upon slime and loam 
They cry in their parliament 'Who goes home?' 
And there comes no answer in arch or dome, 
For none in the city of graves goes home. 
Yet these shall perish and understand, 
For God has pity on this great land. 

Men that are men again; who goes home? 
Tocsin and trumpeter! Who goes home? 
For there's blood on the field and blood on the foam 
And blood on the body when Man goes home. 
And a voice valedictory . . . Who is for Victory? 
Who is for Liberty? Who goes home?
