That rounding smoke drives out the souls of men,
creating nullity where once the mind had engined
and glad tongue wagged; on the cool light of evening
flinging the severed limb and rain of brain.

On that round pillow do the dead men lie
who made the shattering instruments of death,
who at their quick, precise machines all day
had fashioned for a thousand men their end.

Now in their own home is that grief attending
that should have waited in their neighbour’s house;
their own wives weep, while other wives are glad,
seeing the angel pass for this time more.

But yet death drives and will not be directed
by every order of our ingenuity:
its force makes farce of our most careful plans
or shakes disaster from a careless finger.
