SEICHEPREY

A handful came to SeichepreyWhen winter woods were bare,When ice was in the trenchesAnd snow was in the air.The foe looked down on SeichepreyAnd laughed to see them there.The months crept by at SeichepreyThe growing handful stayed,With growling guns at midnight,At dawn, the lightning raid,And learned, in Seicheprey trenches,How war’s red game is played.September came to Seicheprey;A slow-wrought host aroseAnd rolled across the trenchesAnd whelmed its sneering foes,And left to shattered SeichepreyUnending, sweet repose.J.

A handful came to Seicheprey

When winter woods were bare,

When ice was in the trenches

And snow was in the air.

The foe looked down on Seicheprey

And laughed to see them there.

The months crept by at SeichepreyThe growing handful stayed,With growling guns at midnight,At dawn, the lightning raid,And learned, in Seicheprey trenches,How war’s red game is played.

The months crept by at Seicheprey

The growing handful stayed,

With growling guns at midnight,

At dawn, the lightning raid,

And learned, in Seicheprey trenches,

How war’s red game is played.

September came to Seicheprey;A slow-wrought host aroseAnd rolled across the trenchesAnd whelmed its sneering foes,And left to shattered SeichepreyUnending, sweet repose.J. M. H.

September came to Seicheprey;

A slow-wrought host arose

And rolled across the trenches

And whelmed its sneering foes,

And left to shattered Seicheprey

Unending, sweet repose.
