It's winter.

They've all died.

World War I poem that is isn't it?  Very moving some of the WWI literature, such a waste of a generation.

edit - not a WWI poem, as I've always thought, Vietnam, protest song from the 60's.

I thought it was a genuine question, not yet another plonker starting a thread with a verse from a song.

It may have been Hertha, just reminded me of the song, which reminds me of war.

Covered with flowers every one
When will we ever learn?
