The Silent Sentinel
He stands upon the village green, and near the old
town hall, he looks down on the city street, or out
across the shore.
His face is fixed, and does not tell the horrors of
his youth; whether man of bronze, or carved of stone,
his eyes they do not weep.
The guardian of a memory, faded to a grey November
day; look at him just once a year and he may quietly
say.
The names of men are at my feet, read them out aloud;
when you do this it honours them, and keeps their memory
proud.
