The End lyrics

by

Wilfred Owen


After the blast of lightning from the east,
The flourish of loud clouds, the Chariot Throne
;
After the drums of time have rolled and ceased,
And by the bronze west long retreat is blown,

Shall Life renew these bodies? Of a truth
All death will he annul, all tears assuage?-
Or fill these void veins full again with youth,
And wash, with an immortal water, Age?

When I do ask white Age he saith not so:
'My head hangs weighed with snow.'

And when I hearken to the Earth, she saith:
'My fiery heart shrinks, aching. It is death.

Mine ancient scars shall not be glorified,
Nor my titanic tears, the seas, be dried.'
