Sword Set Sheath
Sword Set Sheath
Trying to find a World War Two poem – Help needed…?
..
..
It begins:-
Do not call me,
Do not seek me,
Do not call me back.
..
And contains the lines:-
..
Off we set on course uncharted,
Fire and blood erase our tracks.
..
and:-
..
On we fly on wings of thunder,
Never again to sheath our swords.
..
..
I’m not having much success, can anyone help me find it..?
..
..
Google does no better than Yahoo or Ask.com…… or any of the others…!
Hi, you have Two versions of the same, one attributed to an — Anonymous Englishman, said to be from 1944 and the second Anonymous, Soviet Union, said to be from 1942. Although the it was common place in the old Soviet Union to claim things where invented and written several years before they were in other countries.
Chose the one that fits your recolection. 
A Song To My Son
Do not call me, father dear.
Do not seek me.
Do not call me, do not wish me back.
We’re on a route uncharted, fire and blood erase our track.
On we fly, on wings of thunder, nevermore to sheath our swords.
All of us in battles fallen, not to be brought back by words.
Will there be a rendezvous? I know not.
I only know we still must fight.
We are sand grains in infinity, never to meet, nevermore see light.
Farewell then my son, farewell then my conscience, my youth and my solace, my one and my only.
And let this farewell be the end of the story, a solitude vast in which none is more lonely.
In which you remain barred, forever and ever, from light and from air with your death pangs untold.
Untold and unproved, not to be resurrected — forever and ever, an eighteen year old.
Farewell then. No trains ever come from those regions, unscheduled or scheduled.
No airplanes fly there.
Farewell then my son, for no miracles happen, as in this world, dreams do not come true.
Farewell. I will dream of you still as a baby, treading the earth with little strong toes.
The earth where so many already lie buried.
This song to my son, then, has come to its close.
– Anonymous Englishman, 1944
Or….
– Anonymous, Soviet Union, 1942
(Son to father…)
Do not call me, father. Do not seek me.
Do not call me. Do not wish me back.
We’re on a route uncharted, fire and blood erase our track.
On we fly on wings of thunder, never more to sheath our swords.
All of us in battle fallen – not to be brought back by words.
Will there be a rendezvous? I know not. I only know we still must fight.
We are sand grains in infinity, never to meet, nevermore to see light.
(Father to son…)
Farewell then my son. Farewell then my conscience.
Farewell my youth, my solace, my one-and-only.
Let this farewell be the end of a story
Of solitude past which now is more lonely.
In which you remained barred forever from light,
From air, with your death pains untold.
Untold and unsoothed, never to be resurrected.
Forever and ever an 18 year old.
Farewell then.
No trains ever come from those regions,
Unscheduled and scheduled.
No aeroplanes fly there.
Farewell then my son,
For no miracles happen, as in this world
Dreams do not come true.
Farewell.
I will dream of you still as a baby,
Treading the earth with little strong toes,
The earth where already so many lie buried.
This song to my son, then, is come to its close.
