Here you will find the Poem The Old and the New of poet Leon Gellert
Mars! Mars! Thy clashing sword was keen And glittering with stars. Thine armour sheen Shone to the terrored sky, And o?er the bodies of thy foes With open blows Didst step to victory. War! War! They hidden horrors sound And echo from afar. Upon the ground Thou liest now in fear To wait the cunning chance To thrust thy lance, And hurl thy poisoned spear.
