2. Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

    on the side of a hill in the deep forest green

    tracing a sparrow on snow-crested ground

    blankets and bedclothes a child of the mountains

    sleeps unaware of the clarion call.

 

3. Tell her to find me an acre of land

    on the side of a hill, a sprinkling of leaves

    washed is the ground with so many tears

    a soldier cleans and polishes a gun

 

4. Tell her to reap it in a sickle of leather

    war bellows blazing in scarlet battalions

    generals order their soldiers to kill

    and to fight for a cause they've long ago forgotten
