VERDUN.
Reading edition
We think of love, of garden plots and song, We dream our dreams to be—and gone— While hell let loose, men speak and done Defend Verdun. A glint of red, a glow of crimson flowers Uplift their heads to meet the morning hours, A glint of red—in battlefield the Hun Awaits Verdun. O! Frailty of man who only knows When stormy wind across his garden blows! For glints of red a-shining in the sun Reflect Verdun.
