We spake of many a vanished scene,
Of what we once had thought and said,
Of what had been, and might have been,
And who was changed, and who was dead;

And all that fills the hearts of friends,
When first they feel, with secret pain,
Their lives thenceforth have separate ends,

And never can be one again;

—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Fire of Drift-Wood

No place to run to
Where I did not feel that war

When I got home I stayed alone

And checked behind each door

—Charlie Daniels Band, "Still in Saigon"
