I fell. Nobody picked me up. All day the cars went over me— The light tanks and the heavy tanks, The thunderous artillery. Now all my bones are powder-fine; The stones are grouted with my blood; I am become the road—the way— I thank thee, Fuehrer. It is good. All that thou bade me, that I did; Gave gladly all I had to give. Great Fuehrer, let thy will be done— But yet I would have liked to live! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND BLESSED EVENT (THERE WERE ALSO SOME CASUALTIES) by ADA JACKSON SURFACE AND STRUCTURE: BONAVENTURE HOTEL, LOS ANGELES by KAREN SWENSON |
