Anthem for Doomed Youth

Sonnet by Wilfred *Owen, written towards the end of World War I, which is a bleak indictment of the appalling slaughter. It begins with the question 'What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?', and concludes that they will be commemorated only in 'the tenderness of silent minds,/ And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds'.
