History very well narrated poetically of priest and slaves 10+++++
The Battle of Moncontour occurred on 3 October 1569 between the Catholic forces of King Charles IX of France, commanded by Henry, Duke of Anjou, and the Huguenots commanded by Gaspard de Coligny. The poem so pathetically crafted this poem on that battle, destruction, hazardous of the human conditions.
To the church where the bones of our fathers decayed, Where we fondly had deemed that our own would be laid. A poem on war and its consequences has so touchingly been written
Beautiful. Though you may make us kneel for you who have no knees we bow down to one Father. Our father is God the creator of you and i and one day you will answer to Him my father why you killed Him killing me
The priest and the slave! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
A touching war poem that had seen destruction of the honest at the hands of brutal force of the demonic forces.Well deserving classic poem of the day.
Farewell, and for ever. The priest and the slave May rule in the halls of the free and the brave. Our hearths we abandon; our lands we resign; But, Father, we kneel to no altar but thine......touching expression with lofty theme. Beautiful poem.
A lovely poem on war and its aftermath. When it is all over there is only one place to go and that is His door.
'Farewell, and for ever, the priest and the slave may rule in the halls of the free and the brave. Out hearts we abandon; our lands we resign' A wonderful work deserving of POD.
