Channel Firing
That night your great guns, unawares,
Shook all our coffins as we lay,
And broke the chancel window-squares,
We thought it was the Judgement-day
And sat upright. While drearisome
Arose the howl of wakened hounds:
The mouse let fall the altar-crumb,
The worms drew back into their mounds,
The glebe-cow drooled. Till God called, No;
It's gunnery practice out at sea
Just as before you went below;
The world is as it used to be:
All nations striving strong to make
Red war yet redder. Mad as hatters
They do no more for Christ sake
Than you that are helpless in such matters.
That this is not the judgement-hour
For some of them's a blessed thing,
For if it were they'd have to scour
Hell's floor for so much threatening...
Ha, ha. It will be warmer when
I blow the trumpet (if indeed
I ever do; for you are men,
And rest eternal sorely need).'
So down we lay again. I wonder,
Will the world ever saner be,'
Said one, than when He sent us under
