              <text>Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,&#13;
Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,&#13;
Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,&#13;
And towards our distant rest began to trudge.&#13;
Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,&#13;
But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;&#13;
Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots&#13;
Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.&#13;
&#13;
Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling&#13;
Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,&#13;
But someone still was yelling out and stumbling&#13;
And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—&#13;
Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,&#13;
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.&#13;
&#13;
In all my dreams before my helpless sight,&#13;
He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.&#13;
&#13;
If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace&#13;
Behind the wagon that we flung him in,&#13;
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,&#13;
His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;&#13;
If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood&#13;
Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,&#13;
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud&#13;
Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—&#13;
My friend, you would not tell with such high zest&#13;
To children ardent for some desperate glory,&#13;
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est&#13;
Pro patria mori.</text>
