Traveller go tell

Traveller go tell:
Of heroism and death, off a richer dust long since concealed.
That they died so you may forget.

Traveller go tell:
Of battle and blood, of victory and defeat.
Where names have long been forgotten.

Traveller go tell:
Of tears and loss, of the widows weep and mothers lament.
A telegram of condolence and folded flag.

Traveller go tell:
Of a whispered voice in the wind, of the echo of young men’s cries.

Traveller go tell…
