BIG GUNS

Big guns baying,
Baying thro' the night,
What are ye saying
Of the fight?
Who are ye slaying?

Big guns booming,
Booming thro' the night,
Who are ye dooming
To endless glooming,
In each fell flight?

Great guns growling,
Growling till the day,
Like wild winds howling;
Like wild beasts prowling—
What is thy prey?
