Amice Writer Poet Free verse

The Day Was Dark

The day was dark
The fires cold
No shred of joy
Could e're be found

No song of lark
Nor tales of old
Not a single
Cheerful sound

A sudden cry
Stricken, grieving,
Sharply pierced
The misty air

Then in reply
Sick with feeling
More voices wail
Songs of despair

The sound heightened
'Till all did hear
Mournfully ringing
O'er creek and hill

None could lighten
The hopeless fear
War was coming
The day darkened still
