1914040502London: Self Published 1914. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Good. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. This original emotive poem by Barry Pain in the authors original hand which is signed and dated when the author was working for the Westminster Gazette in November 1914 is in good condition for its age. Two sided with fold creases minor foxing and a little splitting to the very tips of the folds. The poem is as follows. I dreamed that overhead I saw in twilight grey The Army of the Dead Marching upon its way So still and passionless With faces so serene That scarcely could one guess Such men in war had been. No mark of hurt they bore Nor smoke nor bloody stain; Nor suffered any more Famine fatigue or pain; Nor any lust of hate Now lingered in their eyes - Who have fulfilled their fate Have lost all enmities. A new and greater pride So quenched the pride of race That foes marched side by side Who once fought face to face. That ghostly army's plan Knows but one race one rod - All nations there are Man And the one King is God. No longer on their ears The bugle's summons falls; Beyond these angled spheres The Archangel's trumpet calls; And by that trumpet led Far up the exalted sky The Army of the Dead Goes by and still goes by - Look upward standing mute; <br/> <br/> Self Published paperback
