Poet's Corner

Flander's Field of the Pacific

 

By: Leon B. Moore, Jr. EM3

USS Paul Hamilton (DD-590)

 

In the far Pacific

Tradewinds blow

O’er the waves

Row on row

 

Beneath those waves

There out of sight

Lie bodies that fell

In the fight

 

Beside those bodies

That were gallant men

Lie their ships

Mighty then

 

Are they forgotten

Beneath the waves

Without white crosses

To mark their graves

 

They are not forgotten

There buried so

They need no crosses
Row on row
