Album | Baptism |
作词 : Whitman | |
I SAW THE VISION OF ARMIES (Walt Whitman) | |
I saw the vision of armies; | |
and I saw, as in noiseless dreams, hundreds of battle-flags, | |
borne through the smoke of the battles and pierced with missiles, I saw them, | |
and carried, hither and yon through the smoke, and torn and bloody; | |
and at last but a few shreds of 'the flags left on the staffs, (and all in silence,) | |
and the staffs all splintered and broken. | |
I saw battle-corpses, myriads of them, | |
and the white skeletons of young men, I saw them; | |
I saw the debris and debris of all dead soldiers, | |
But I saw they were not as was thought; | |
they themselves were fully at rest, they suffered not; | |
the living remained and suffered, the mother suffered, | |
and the wife and the child and the musing comrade suffered, | |
and the armies that remained suffered.. |
