at   ease And�察  �finding   comfortable   chests   and   knees   Carelessly   slept。   But 

many   there   stood   still   To   face   the   stark�察  �blank   sky   beyond   the   ridge�察�

Knowing their feet had come to the end of the world。 

     Marvelling they stood�察�and watched the long grass swirled By the May 

breeze�察�murmurous with wasp and midge�察�For though the summer oozed 

into their veins Like the injected drug for their bones' pains�察�Sharp on their 

souls     hung    the   imminent      line   of   grass�察  �Fearfully     flashed    the   sky's 

mysterious glass。 

     Hour   after   hour   they   ponder   the   warm   field      And   the   far   valley 

behind�察    �where    the   buttercups     Had    blessed    with   gold   their   slow   boots 

coming up�察�Where even the little brambles would not yield�察�But clutched 

and clung to them like sorrowing hands�察�They breathe like trees unstirred。 

     Till like a cold gust thrilled the little word At which each body and its 

soul   begird   And   tighten   them   for   battle。   No   alarms   Of   bugles�察  �no   high 

flags�察�no clamorous haste  Only a lift and flare of eyes that faced The sun�察�

like   a   friend   with   whom   their   love   is   done。   O   larger   shone   that   smile 

against the sun�察 �Mightier than his whose bounty these have spurned。 

     So�察�soon they topped the hill�察�and raced together Over an open stretch 

of   herb   and   heather   Exposed。 And   instantly   the   whole   sky   burned   With 

fury   against   them�察  �and   soft   sudden   cups   Opened   in   thousands   for   their 

blood�察    �and   the   green   slopes    Chasmed      and   steepened      sheer   to  infinite 

space。 

     Of   them   who   running   on   that   last   high   place   Leapt   to   swift   unseen 

bullets�察�or went up On the hot blast and fury of hell's upsurge�察�Or plunged 

and   fell   away   past   this   world's   verge�察  �Some   say   God   caught   them   even 

before they fell。 

     But   what   say   such   as   from   existence'   brink   Ventured   but   drave   too 

swift to sink。 The few who rushed in the body to enter hell�察�And there out´ 

fiending   all   its   fiends   and   flames With   superhuman   inhumanities�察  �Long´ 

famous glories�察�immemorial shames  And crawling slowly back�察�have by

                                The Chances 



     I mind as 'ow the night afore that show Us five got talking�察 �we was 

in the know�察 �Over the top to´morrer�察�boys�察�we're for it�察�First wave we are�察�

first   ruddy   wave�察  �that's   tore   it。;   ;Ah   well�察─  �says   Jimmy�察     �an'   'e's   seen 

some scrappin'  ;There ain't more nor five things as can 'appen�察�Ye get 

knocked out�察�else wounded  bad or cushy�察�Scuppered�察�or nowt except yer 

feeling mushy。; 

     One of us got the knock´out�察�blown to chops。 T'other was hurt�察�like�察�

losin'   both   'is  props。  An'   one�察  �to  use  the   word   of  'ypocrites�察  �'Ad   the 

misfortoon   to be   took   by  Fritz。  Now  me�察  �I   wasn't scratched�察 �praise   God 

Almighty ��Though next time please I'll thank 'im for a blighty���察�But poor 

young Jim�察�'e's livin' an' 'e's not�察�'E reckoned 'e'd five chances�察�an' 'e's 'ad�察�

'E's wounded�察�killed�察�and pris'ner�察�all the lot  The ruddy lot all rolled in 

one。 Jim's mad。

                                         S。 I。 W。 



       ;I will to the King�察�And offer him consolation in his trouble�察�For that 

man   there   has   set   his   teeth   to   die�察�And   being   one   that   hates   obedience�察�

Discipline�察�and orderliness of life�察�I cannot mourn him。; W。 B。 Yeats。 



     Patting goodbye�察�doubtless they told the lad He'd always show the Hun 

a brave man's face�察�Father would sooner him dead than in disgrace�察 �Was 

proud   to   see   him   going�察  �aye�察  �and   glad。   Perhaps   his   Mother   whimpered 

how she'd fret Until he got a nice�察�safe wound to nurse。 Sisters would wish 

girls   too   could   shoot�察   �charge�察  �curse�察   �  。  。  Brothers     would    send   his 

favourite cigarette�察�Each week�察�month after month�察�they wrote the same�察�

Thinking him  sheltered in some Y。M。  Hut�察�Where  once  an   hour  a  bullet 

missed its aim And misses teased the hunger of his brain。 His eyes grew 

old   with   wincing�察  �and   his   hand   Reckless   with   ague。   Courage   leaked�察  �as 

sand From the best sandbags after years of rain。 But never leave�察�wound�察�

fever�察  �trench´foot�察  �shock�察  �Untrapped   the   wretch。 And   death   seemed   still 

withheld   For   torture   of   lying   machinally  shelled�察�At   the   pleasure   of   this 

world's Powers who'd run amok。 

     He'd seen men shoot their hands�察�on night patrol�察�Their people never 

knew。 Yet they were vile。 ;Death sooner than dishonour�察�that's the style� ─�

So Father said。 

       One   dawn�察  �our   wire   patrol   Carried   him。   This   time�察  �Death   had   not 

missed。 We   could   do   nothing�察 �but   wipe   his   bleeding   cough。   Could   it   be 

accident�拭     �Rifles   go   off   。   。   。   Not   sniped�拭  �No。   ��Later   they   found   the 

English ball。�� 

     It was the reasoned crisis of his soul。 Against the fires that would not 

burn him whole But kept him for death's perjury and scoff And life's half´ 

promising�察�and both their riling。 

     With him they buried the muzzle his teeth had kissed�察�And truthfully 

wrote the Mother ;Tim died smiling。;

    Move him into the sun  Gently its touch awoke him once�察�At home�察�

whispering of fields unsown。 Always it woke him�察�even in France�察�Until 

this morning and this snow。 If anything might rouse him now The kind old 

sun will know。 

    Think how it wakes the seeds  Woke�察�once�察�the clays of a cold star。 

Are limbs so dear´achieved�察�are sides Full´nerved�察 �still warm�察 �too hard 

to   stir�拭 �Was   it  for  this  the  clay  grew   tall�拭   �O  what   made   fatuous 

sunbeams toil To break earth's sleep at all�拭�

Also�察  �they   read   of   Cheap   Homes�察  �not   yet   planned�察  �For�察  �said   the   paper�察�

;When   this   war   is   done   The   men's   first   instinct   will   be   making   homes。 

Meanwhile their foremost need is aerodromes�察�It being certain war has just 

begun。 Peace would do wrong to our undying dead�察 �The sons we offered 

might regret they died If we got nothing lasting in their stead。 We must be 

solidly indemnified。 Though all be worthy Victory which all bought�察�We 

rulers sitting in this ancient spot Would wrong our very selves if we forgot 

The   greatest   glory   will   be   theirs   who   fought�察  �Who   kept   this   nation   in 

integrity。; Nation�拭 �The half´limbed readers did not chafe But smiled at 

one another curiously Like secret men who know their secret safe。 This is 

the thing they know and never speak�察�That England one by one had fled to 

France   ��Not   many   elsewhere   now   save   under   France��。   Pictures   of   these 

broad smiles   appear   each   week�察�And   people  in   whose   voice  real   feeling 

rings Say�此�How they smile� �They're happy now�察�poor things。

     His fingers wake�察�and flutter up the bed。 His eyes come open with a 

pull of will�察�Helped by the yellow may´flowers by his head。 A blind´cord 

drawls across the window´sill 。 。 。 How smooth the floor of the ward is� �

what a rug� �And who's that talking�察�somewhere out of sight�拭�Why are they 

laughing�拭  �What's   inside   that   jug�拭   �Nurse�   �Doctor� ─   �Yes�察  �all   right�察  �all 

right。; 

     But sudden dusk bewilders all the air  There seems no time to want a 

drink of water。 Nurse looks so far away。 And everywhere Music and roses 

burnt through crimson slaughter。 Cold�察�cold�察�he's cold�察�and yet so hot�此�And 

there's no   light   to   see   the   voices   by    No   time   to   dream�察  �and   ask      he 

knows not what。

Discs to make eyes close。 My glorious ribbons�拭 �Ripped from my own
