by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson (1878 - 1962)
Ambulance train
Language: English
Red rowans in the rain, Above the rain-wet rock -- All night the lumbering train, With jolt and jar and shock, And moan of men in pain, Beats rumbling in my brain -- Red rowans in the rain, Above the rain-wet rock -- Again and yet again -- Red rowans in the rain.
