from silvered dome,
where she was seated, upon silver throne,
i passed the great hemp
and red poppies which shone,
to lay my eyes upon her.

Yet still, lot's of boys and girls did not come home,
as white crosses with red poppies show, lined up in huge numbers like legions of rome.
leaving mothers without sons, fathers with daughters.
