Explore "We" by Hervey Allen on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
We who have come back from the war, / And stand upright and draw full breath, / Seek boldly what life holds in store / And eat its whole fruit rind and core, / Before we enter through the door / To keep our rendezvous with death.
We who have walked with death in France, / When all the world with death was rife, / Who came through all that devils' dance, / When life was but a circumstance, / A sniper's whim, a bullet's glance, / We have a rendezvous with life!
