When they went eastwards like a tide at flow; There blow thy trumpet that the dead may know, Who waited for thy coming, Victory. WHEN THEY WENT EASTWARDS LIKE A TIDE AT FLOW THERE BLOW THY TRUMPET THAT THE DEAD MAY KNOW WHO WAITED FOR THY COMING VICTORY

As the first title indicates, I hoped to show, to as many as might to read my words, something of the extent of the wrongs that the people of France had suffered. There is no such need any longer. The tales, so far as they went, I gather together here for the few that seem to read my books in England. Dunsany. A Dirge Of Victory (Sonnet) Lift not thy trumpet, Victory, to the sky, Nor through battalions nor by batteries blow, But over hollows full of old wire go, Where among dregs of war the long-dead lie With wasted iron that the guns passed by.
