Dordt

by Leonard M Hawkes

Blazing golden poplars
On the southern dike,
Long blue shadows
Projected by an
Afternoon autumn sun--
The Rhine not far beyond.

Mounted on bicycles
We rode forth to war--
The exquisiteness
Of each new field of battle
Still the seasonal
Vision of Eternity.

You can just feel the atmosphere in the lines, so vivid.
