Escape? There is one unwatched way; your eyes,

O Beauty! Keep me good that secret gate.

And when the cordon tightens of the spies

Let the close iris of your eyes grow great.

So I’ll evade the vice and rack of age

And miss the march of lifetime, stage by stage.

Anthem for Doomed Youth

What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles’ rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons.

No mockeries for them from prayers or bells,

Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, –

The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;

And bugles calling for them from sad shires.
