'17 But redder yet that light shall glow 18 On Linden's hills of stainèd snow, 19 And bloodier yet the torrent flow 20 Of Iser, rolling rapidly.' - Wonderful! Verses 29-32 are appropriate as the finishing lines of this war poem.
That light shall Glow! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A modern poem 1844? ? ? The last stanza is great, 'few shall part where many meet'
