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。;

Futility
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�

Smile�察�Smile�察�Smile
Head to limp head�察�the sunk´eyed wounded scanned Yesterday's Mail�察�
the casualties ��typed small�� And ��large�� Vast Booty from our Latest Haul。
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。
23rd September 1918。

Conscious
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。

A Terre
��Being the philosophy of many Soldiers。��
Sit on the bed�察�I'm blind�察�and three parts shell�察�Be careful�察�can't shake
hands now�察�never shall。 Both arms have mutinied against me brutes。 My
fingers fidget like ten idle brats。
I tried to peg out soldierly no use� �One dies of war like any old
disease。 This bandage feels like pennies on my eyes。 I have my medals�拭 �
Discs to make eyes close。 My glorious ribbons�拭 �Ripped from my own
back In scarlet shreds。 ��That's for your poetry book。��
A short life and a merry one�察�my brick� �We used to say we'd hate to
live dead old�察 �Yet now 。 。 。 I'd willingly be puffy�察�bald�察�And patriotic。
Buffers catch from boys At least the jokes hurled at them。 I suppose Littl
