by Ivor (Bertie) Gurney (1890 - 1937)

Language: English 
Horror follows horror within me
There is a chill fear
Of the storm that does deafen and din me
And rage horribly near.

What black things had the human
Race in store, what mind could view?
Good guard the hour that is coming,
Mankind safe, honour bring through.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Jeffreys (1927 - 2010), "Horror follows horror" [ voice and piano ]
