Can someone identify the symbols in this poem and explain their meaning. I hardly found any.

The Last Laugh

'Oh! Jesus Christ! I'm hit,' he said; and died.

Whether he vainly cursed or prayed indeed,

The Bullets chirped-In vain, vain, vain!

Machine-guns chuckled,-Tut-tut! Tut-tut!

And the Big Gun guffawed.

Another sighed,-'O Mother, -Mother, - Dad!'

Then smiled at nothing, childlike, being dead.

And the lofty Shrapnel-cloud

Leisurely gestured,-Fool!

And the splinters spat, and tittered.

'My Love!' one moaned. Love-languid seemed his mood,

Till slowly lowered, his whole faced kissed the mud.

And the Bayonets' long teeth grinned;

Rabbles of Shells hooted and groaned;

And the Gas hissed.

  1. Total and completely despair!

    Death! The end or the begining?

    Read this and tell me what you think:

    Tears, Idle Tears a poem

    by Alfred, Lord Tennyson  



    Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean,

    Tears from the depth of some divine despair

    Rise in the heart, and gather to the eyes,

    In looking on the happy Autumn-fields,

    And thinking of the days that are no more.

    Fresh as the first beam glittering on a sail,

    That brings our friends up from the underworld,

    Sad as the last which reddens over one

    That sinks with all we love below the verge;

    So sad, so fresh, the days that are no more.

    Ah, sad and strange as in dark summer dawns

    The earliest pipe of half-awakened birds

    To dying ears, when unto dying eyes

    The casement slowly grows a glimmering square;

    So sad, so strange, the days that are no more.

    Dear as remembered kisses after death,

    And sweet as those by hopeless fancy feigned

    On lips that are for others; deep as love,

    Deep as first love, and wild with all regret;

    O Death in Life, the days that are no more!

      



    Keep your light bright!♥
