Explore "Who Goes Home?" by G.K. Chesterton on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In the city set upon slime and loam / They cry in their parliament "Who goes home? " / And there comes no answer in arch or dome, / For none in the city of graves goes home. / Yet these shall perish and understand, / For God has pity on this great land.
Men that are men again; who goes home? / Tocsin and trumpeter! Who goes home? / For there's blood on the field and blood on the foam / And blood on the body when Man goes home. / And a voice valedictory. Who is for Victory? / Who is for Liberty? Who goes home?
