I think that Wilfred Owen is the one telling this poem from the experience he had watching kids die, because of a war. "Anthem for Doomed Youth" was written between September and October 1917, while Wilfred Owen was in hospital trying to recover from shell shock. Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,Īnd each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds. The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall Shall shine the holy glimmers of good-byes. ![]() Not in the hands of boys, but in their eyes What candles may be held to speed them all? The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells Īnd bugles calling for them from sad shires. Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, No mockeries now for them no prayers nor bells What passing-bells for these who die as cattle? ![]()
