Explore "The Little Homes" by C.J. Dennis on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We have heard the cheering, brothers, / We have heard the martial peal; / We have seen the soldiers marching / And the glint of sun and steel. / We have heard the songs, the shouting; / But, while forth the soldier roams, / Who has heard the weeping, brothers, / In the Little Homes?
We have seen the gay processions / And the careless, laughing crowds.; / We have seen the banners waving / Out against the peaceful clouds; / Yet, while colors proudly flutter / Over noble spires and domes, / Who has seen the mourning, brothers, / In the Little Homes?
