Kind Regards Jim Clark All rights are reserved on this video recording copyright Jim Clark 2008 With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children, England mourns for her dead across the sea. Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit, Fallen in the cause of the free. Solemn the drums thrill: Death august and royal Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres. There is a music in the midst of desolation And a glory that shines upon our tears. They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncountered: They fell with their faces to the foe. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. They mingle not with their laughing comrades again; They sit no more at familiar tables at home; They have no lot in our labour of the day-time; They sleep beyond England's foam. But where our desires are and our hopes profound, Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight, To the innermost heart of their own land they are known As the stars are known to the Night; As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust, Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain; As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness, To the end, to the end they remain.Please try my Dailymotion video websites where you can see many more of the great poets oldtime acoustic blues performers live and move again in my unique animated virtual movies Poets such as Tennyson and Lewis Carroll and Bluesmen like Robert Johnson and Blind Lemon Jefferson come to life before your very eyes plus you can see amazing acoustic musicians from my unique archive...heres the linksPoetry Animations and videos here http://www.dailymotion.com/Poetrylad Blues animations here http://www.dailymotion.com/bluesanima...
