Requiem aeternum (Latin liturgy)

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine. 
Et lux perpetua luceat eis. 

Translation to English

Rest Eternally

Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord, 
and let perpetual light shine upon them

 

Long Black Arm (Wilfred Owen)

Be slowly lifted up, thou long black arm, 

Great gun towering toward Heaven, 
about to curse; 

Reach at that arrogance, 
which needs thy harm, 

And beat it down before 
the sins grow worse; 

 
But when thy spell be cast 
complete and whole, 

May God curse thee, 
and cut thee from our soul!
