I lived my days apart, <br />Dreaming fair songs for God; <br />By the glory in my heart <br />Covered and crowned and shod. <br /> <br />Now God is in the strife, <br />And I must seek Him there, <br />Where death outnumbers life, <br />And fury smites the air. <br /> <br />I walk the secret way <br />With anger in my brain. <br />O music through my clay, <br />When will you sound again?<br /><br />Siegfried Sassoon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-mystic-as-soldier/
