And no one spoke

And her summer frock

She bravely waves the boys goodbye again
Ooo, Maggie what have you done?

And still the dark stain spreads between
Their shoulder blades
A mute reminder
Of the poppy fields and graves

When the fight was over
We spent what they had made
But
In the bottom of our hearts
We felt the final cut
