To what God shall we chant our songs of battle?
Oh, to whom shall a song of battle be chanted?
Not to our lord of the hosts on his ancient throne
Drowsing the ages out in Heaven alone.
The celestial choirs are mute, the angels have fled
Word is gone forth abroad that our lord is dead.
– Harold Monro, 1914
“I wish I had more time, I wish I could have the hope of freedom and seeing my family once again, but that ship has sailed.”
