[ind] [ind] [ind] the Name of the Father
Gone. Gone gone. Will you walk where we once walked, and wear
[ind] [ind] [ind] what we once wore?
Left..left left. Will you wander on the Wealden Way, with wild white
[ind] [ind] [ind] rose and hegerows?
Or..or...or... Will you watch the wisps of wounded, welted warrior-
[ind] [ind] [ind] -ghosts as they walk dead in gore?
Rain, rain. Rain well, upon the roses and the roads, wash clean
[ind] [ind] [ind] our saddened ways where no man goes!
In...in...in the name of the Father.... Where are the wished for
[ind] [ind] [ind] evening scents, and where the wind

[ind] [ind] [ind] as well as veg., unlocks
Cell-phones (Mobiles) or repairs accessorize (sic). Khan's it is,
[ind] [ind] [ind] although upon
Entering, you find, that Khan is gone, and even that nice Afghan,
[ind] [ind] [ind] who so much
Longed, to get a green card, and somehow get his dentistry
[ind] [ind] [ind] qualification,
Studied for in Kabul, recognised by going to Williamsburg. I wonder:
If that blackbird's ancestors sat here, and watched the Legions
[ind] [ind] [ind] leaving London,
[ind] [ind] [ind] leaving London,
Slogging down this very road: 'Mithras, God of the Sun, teach me to die aright!'
Note:
People! This is supposed to be an acrostic, 'Gloria in Excelsiis', but I just cannot get it formatted. The draft is OK, but the ppropper thing just reverts to type. Help appreciated!¬
