[hometext] => This poem is based on a plaque I saw while in Paris. It was about one of the people of Paris who died liberating the city.
[bodytext] => How long has it been? Since the trees last sang, And, caressed by the wind, The church bell rang. What years have passed, Since we knew at last, The string of the harp, Notes soft, not sharp. How many days Since the speakers last stood Shouting their ways, In every neighborhood Glory dies with pleasure, And we can now phrase “Length bears no measure, When the world is set ablaze.” [comments] => 2 [counter] => 196 [topic] => 57 [informant] => taybaxter [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => war )
