Siegfried Sassoon - Fancy DressSiegfried Sassoon - Fancy Dress
Work rating: Low


Some Brave, awake in you to-night,   Knocked at your heart: an eagle’s flight   Stirred in the feather on your head.   Your wide-set Indian eyes, alight   Above high cheek-bones smeared with red, Unveiled cragg’d centuries, and led   You, the snared wraith of bygone things—   Wild ancestries of trackless Kings—   Out of the past… So men have felt   Strange anger move them as they knelt Praying to gods serenely starred   In heavens where tomahawks are barred.
