livid hours that grope3
hammering stakes with muffled3
in flocks of ruin3
with us who die3
as i was saying3
the strenuous fight of3
tossed and blown along3

where men are crushed3
of those who have3

gone out patrolling in3
with stealthy haste and3
king and queen pause3
five dropt dead beside3

of a splendid part3
by night and day3
life with stubborn hands3

name that rings like3
what humble service share3
crater for their wretchedness3
reflected in his eyes3
in brown tilts his3
the dawn was on3
lamentations i found him3
wood in whose lament3
they shiver by the3
must be firing at3
shut my eyes your3
meet the bristling fire3
he discussed the glorious3
and they told me3
my wound was slight3
thuds in blundering strife3
wild beast of battle3
back to grope with3
outshines remembrance of the3
lugged his everlasting load3
with the brute sword3
where old foxes make3
there must be crowds3
not that we shall3
who cling to life3

listless strain and peril3
his brother had gone3
you mind when the3
where dumb with pain3
and those who have3
disconsolate men who stamp3
heard amid the guns3
before they bolt across3
and sunset flares across3
which he had written3
he has loved are3
filled with such delight3
you listen with delight3
them out to jabber3
and wounds that ache3
might ask thou hast3
in faith and prayer3
the vale where willows3
drove me to rebel3
up her eyes and3
god help me now3

boots and turn dulled3
the lads who once3

you all those dreams3
and wail of a3
we break their line3
he is dead who3
and that hill where3
of shells in muffled3
through the thin cold3
volleying doom for doom3
burst spouting dark earth3
we will keep the3

darkness tells how vainly3
his head to watch3
and the frost so3
fishers of the river3
the pit where they3
with thine ancient might3
bleeding years i fought3
bombardment on our right3
the boat heaves onward3
to do when lads3
the women and children3

soldiers he smiled at3
cannot hear their voices3
and shovels and battle3
broad wealds of light3

our patriotic duty to3
with trick and lie3
hiss and boom and3
i stumbled among the3
regret and haggard mirth3

with silver locks will3
bodies out with nasty3
of fingers clutched a3

their faces to the3
grey i stood with3
loved by the lion3
eyes i stand forgiven3

like a face with3
letter from the king3
back with dying eyes3
of the blood outpoured3
frantic gestures of the3
they smote my heart3
shapes of the slain3
brought me once again3
tired brows in a3
man with silver locks3
patching glare from side3
the bracken shakes below3
that changed us into3
hear old childish talk3
yawning soldier knelt against3
the fun at arras3
beast of war that3
doing their hyde park3
he gazes on it3
alone he staggered on3
and sons and lovers3
faces risen out of3
find the mothers of3
stark danger of life3
she can forget the3
of flickering horror in3
dressing as straight as3
then hear the gruff3
with scarlet majors at3

as a home parade3
of war that in3

martyred youth and manhood3
soldiers who were loyal3
nights you watched and3
going to happen again3
puff their damp woodbines3
in a hopeless dud3
groping along the tunnel3
lines longer than characters3
on sea and shore3
of the stricken wood3
old soldiers with three3
