The Trumpets

They do not know
Who have heard not the trumpets
They have not walked with Pickett's boys
In the Pennsylvania sun
Or lain with the Siberian Guard
In the snows before Moscow

They do not know
Who have heard not the trumpets
Though from thrones and parliaments
They bid fire and steel
Blaze forth between those
Who might else be brothers

They do know
