Anzac Day Sounds

Bugler and player of bagpipes
Continue. Stretching out
That now breathed to more than a stout
Minutes' honouration.

Soonest war, its great wound
Closes, opens again.
With no respite to the realm's pain.
Nor your own! Death appoints
By tomb, blue-faced, with sound annoints
To stand at attention.
