At the Movies by Florence Ripley Mastin

High Summer→

AT THE MOVIES They swing across the screen in brave array,    Long British columns grinding the dark grass. Twelve months ago they marched into the gray    Of battle; yet again behold them pass! One lifts his dusty cap; his hair is bright;    I meet his eyes, eager and young and bold. The picture quivers into ghostly white;    Then I remember, and my heart grows cold! Florence Ripley Mastin January, 1916
