We had not heard your name, Lidice,
Till your heart’s blood was shed ;
You had no fame to reach us,
Till your boys and girls were dead.

Remember Lidice – A Poem by John Hooks – 1943
Lidice! Your streets are silent now;
You little town—whose crime was mercy-
Lie beneath the sun,
And only wisps of smoke arise to crown
The blackened desolation of the Hun.
