II
And some cease feeling Even themselves or for themselves。 Dullness
best solves The tease and doubt of shelling�察 �And Chance's strange
arithmetic Comes simpler than the reckoning of their shilling。 They keep
no check on Armies' decimation。
III
Happy are these who lose imagination�此 �They have enough to carry
with ammunition。 Their spirit drags no pack。 Their old wounds save with
cold can not more ache。 Having seen all things red�察�Their eyes are rid Of
the hurt of the colour of blood for ever。 And terror's first constriction over�察�
Their hearts remain small drawn。 Their senses in some scorching cautery
of battle Now long since ironed�察 �Can laugh among the dying�察�
unconcerned。
IV
Happy the soldier home�察 �with not a notion How somewhere�察 �every
dawn�察�some men attack�察�And many sighs are drained。 Happy the lad whose
mind was never trained�此�His days are worth forgetting more than not。 He

sings along the march Which we march taciturn�察 �because of dusk�察 �The
long�察�forlorn�察�relentless trend From larger day to huger night。
V
We wise�察�who with a thought besmirch Blood over all our soul�察�How
should we see our task But through his blunt and lashless eyes�拭�Alive�察�he
is not vital overmuch�察�Dying�察�not mortal overmuch�察�Nor sad�察�nor proud�察�
Nor curious at all。 He cannot tell Old men's placidity from his。
VI
But cursed are dullards whom no cannon stuns�察�That they should be as
stones。 Wretched are they�察 �and mean With paucity that never was
simplicity。 By choice they made themselves immune To pity and whatever
mourns in man Before the last sea and the hapless stars�察�Whatever mourns
when many leave these shores�察�Whatever shares The eternal reciprocity of
tears。

Dulce et Decorum est
Bent double�察 �like old beggars under sacks�察 �Knock´kneed�察 �coughing
like hags�察�we cursed through sludge�察�Till on the haunting flares we turned
our backs�察�And towards our distant rest began to trudge。 Men marched
asleep。 Many had lost their boots�察 �But limped on�察 �blood´shod。 All went
lame�察�all blind�察�Drunk with fatigue�察�deaf even to the hoots Of gas´shells
dropping softly behind。
Gas� �GAS� �Quick�察�boys� �An ecstasy of fumbling Fitting the clumsy
helmets just in time�察�But someone still was yelling out and stumbling And
flound'ring like a man in fire or lime。 Dim through the misty panes and
thick green light�察�As under a green sea�察�I saw him drowning。
In all my dreams before my helpless sight He plunges at me�察�guttering�察�
choking�察�drowning。
If in some smothering dreams�察�you too could pace Behind the wagon
that we flung him in�察�And watch the white eyes writhing in his face�察�His
hanging face�察�like a devil's sick of sin�察�If you could hear�察�at every jolt�察�the
blood Come gargling from the froth´corrupted lungs Bitter as the cud Of
vile�察�incurable sores on innocent tongues�察 �My friend�察�you would not tell
with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory�察�The old
Lie�此�Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori。

The Sentry
We'd found an old Boche dug´out�察�and he knew�察�And gave us hell�察�for
shell on frantic shell Hammered on top�察 �but never quite burst through。
Rain�察 �guttering down in waterfalls of slime Kept slush waist high�察 �that
rising hour by hour�察 �Choked up the steps too thick with clay to climb。
What murk of air remained stank old�察�and sour With fumes of whizz´bangs�察�
and the smell of men Who'd lived there years�察�and left their curse in the
den�察�If not their corpses。 。 。 。 There we herded from the blast Of whizz´
bangs�察�but one found our door at last。 Buffeting eyes and breath�察�snuffing
the candles。 And thud� �flump� �thud� �down the steep steps came thumping
And splashing in the flood�察�deluging muck The sentry's body�察�then his
rifle�察�handles Of old Boche bombs�察�and mud in ruck on ruck。 We dredged
him up�察�for killed�察�until he whined ;O sir�察�my eyes I'm blind I'm blind�察�
I'm blind� ─�Coaxing�察�I held a flame against his lids And said if he could
see the least blurred light He was not blind�察�in time he'd get all right。 ;I
can't�察─�he sobbed。 Eyeballs�察�huge´bulged like squids Watch my dreams still�察�
but I forgot him there In posting next for duty�察�and sending a scout To beg
a stretcher somewhere�察 �and floundering about To other posts under the
shrieking air。
Those other wretches�察�how they bled and spewed�察�And one who would
have drowned himself for good�察 �I try not to remember these things now。
Let dread hark back for one word only�此�how Half´listening to that sentry's
moans and jumps�察�And the wild chattering of his broken teeth�察�Renewed
most horribly whenever crumps Pummelled the roof and slogged the air
beneath Through the dense din�察�I say�察�we heard him shout ;I see your
lights� ─�But ours had long died out。

The Dead´Beat
He dropped�察 �more sullenly than wearily�察 �Lay stupid like a cod�察�
heavy like meat�察�And none of us could kick him to his feet�察�Just blinked at
my revolver�察�blearily�察 �Didn't appear to know a war was on�察�Or see the
blasted trench at which he stared。 ;I'll do 'em in�察─ �he whined�察 �If this
hand's spared�察�I'll murder them�察�I will。;
A low voice said�察 �It's Blighty�察�p'raps�察�he sees�察�his pluck's all gone�察�
Dreaming of all the valiant�察 �that AREN'T dead�此 �Bold uncles�察 �smiling
ministerially�察�Maybe his brave young wife�察�getting her fun In some new
home�察�improved materially。 It's not these stiffs have crazed him�察�nor the
Hun。;
We sent him down at last�察�out of the way。 Unwounded�察 �stout lad�察�too�察�
before that strafe。 Malingering�拭 �Stretcher´bearers winked�察 �Not half� ─�
Next day I heard the Doc。's well´whiskied laugh�此 �That scum you sent last
night soon died。 Hooray� ─�

Exposure
I
Our brains ache�察 �in the merciless iced east winds that knife us 。 。 。
Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent 。 。 。 Low drooping
flares confuse our memory of the salient 。 。 。 Worried by silence�察�sentries
whisper�察�curious�察�nervous�察�But nothing happens。
Watching�察�we hear the mad gusts tugging on the wire。 Like twitching
agonies of men among its brambles。 Northward incessantly�察�the flickering
gunnery rumbles�察�Far off�察�like a dull rumour of some other war。 What are
we doing here�拭�
The poignant misery of dawn begins to grow 。 。 。 We only know war
lasts�察 �rain soaks�察 �and clouds sag stormy。 Dawn massing in the east her
melancholy army Attacks once more in ranks on shivering ranks of gray�察�
But nothing happens。
Sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence。 Less deadly
than the air that shudders black with snow�察�With sidelong flowing flakes
that flock�察�pause and renew�察�We watch them wandering up and down the
wind's nonchalance�察�But nothing happens。
II
Pale flakes with lingering stealth come feeling for our faces We
cringe in holes�察 �back on forgotten dreams�察 �and stare�察 �snow´dazed�察 �Deep
into grassier ditches。 So we drowse�察 �sun´dozed�察 �Littered with blossoms
trickling where the blackbird fusses。 Is it that we are dying�拭�
Slowly our ghosts drag home�此 �glimpsing the sunk fires glozed With
crusted dark´red jewels�察�crickets jingle there�察�For hours the innocent mice
rejoice�此�the house is theirs�察�Shutters and doors all closed�此�on us the doors
are closed We turn back to our dying。
Since we believe not otherwise can kind fires burn�察 �Now ever suns

smile true on child�察�or field�察�or fruit。 For God's invincible spring our love
is made afraid�察�Therefore�察�not loath�察�we lie out here�察�therefore were born�察�
For love of God seems dying。
To´night�察 �His frost will fasten on this mud and us�察 �Shrivelling many
hands and puckering foreheads crisp。 The burying´party�察�picks and shovels
in their shaking grasp�察�Pause over half´known faces。 All their eyes are ice�察�
But nothing happens。

Spring Offensive
Halted against the shade of a last hill�察�They fed�察�and�察�lying easy�察�were
at ease And�察 �finding comfortable chests and knees
