Note to recorder:

Hi,

just a short poem to record, thanks in advance! If possible, I'd like the recording to somewhat emphasize the gravity of the topic.

Thanks

The Blitz - Dan McGonagle

Tenement buildings falling to bits
Victims of precision hits
Sirens wailing, people running
Smoke and darkness, engines gunning

Antiaircraft guns are blazing
Towards the sky the bullets strafing
A distant rumble just like thunder
Another street is torn asunder

Bodies lying on the road
Families left with no abode
Among the rubble pets are lying
Some in shock, others dying

Despite it all a sense of calm
People sing a well known psalm
Thanking God for their survival
Whilst waiting on the Sun's arrival

The spirit of them all unbroken
Words like defeat are never spoken
Courage born of toil and sweat
Pride in everyone you met

A town rebuilt by men of worth
Regarded as the salt of the earth
Rising from the ashen pits
Created by the Clydebank blitz
