arms & the boy by wilfred owen - christopher hassall lyrics

Loading...

let the boy try along this bayonet*blade
how cold steel is, and keen with hunger of blood;
blue with all malice, like a madman’s flash;
and thinly drawn with famishing for flesh

lend him to stroke these blind, blunt bullet*leads
which long to nuzzle in the hearts of lads
or give him cartridges of fine zinc t**th
sharp with the sharpness of grief and death

for his t**th seem for laughing round an apple
there lurk no claws behind his fingers supple;
and god will grow no talons at his heels
nor antlers through the thickness of his curls
