FROM a gif sent by John_in_Brisbane. It says" Zetta St. Clair composed this song on the basis of first-hand accounts from her brothers who escaped from the Dunkirk evacuation."
DUNKIRK
(Zetta St. Clair)
Mony weary men fain' death and bearin' pain
On that bombed and bloody beach o' Dunkirk.
As I wounded lay I could hear a comrade pray.
What a nicht! What a nicht!
Mony mile between hame o' mine, beloved scene.
And that bombed and bloody beach o' Dunkirk.
Oh ma hert was sair, wid I see hame ivirmair?
Bit I micht, bit I micht
Mony heroes fell, and the rest endured a hell
On that bombed and bloody beach o' Dunkirk.
'Twas abrave retreat, its accomplishment a feat.
Sic a sicht, sic a sicht
midi to alan' site; NWC to Dickg
