IN NO MAN'S LAND Behold me, brother, about to die!
Eton watched my mind expand, Oxford saw my hopes flame high, London broke my manhood's strength Slow I sank, till here at length I found this innocent infamy Of board and bed in No Man's Land.
Judge, brother, if I fear to die!
I loved mankind, and none did hate; But in me thrived no faculty Of friendship; I have never known A soul that truly touched my own; 104 IN NO MAN'S LAND 105 Lo, this was my infirmity, My torture also, and my fate.
Judge,... brothers, if this world seem sweet!
By many roads I sought to rise; Men thrust aside my halting feet, Until at last my strength was spent, And I, assured incompetent, Was driven like dust about the street, Beneath a city's scornful eyes.
Of all the things which I have done, If one were perfect of its kind Content were I to leave the sun: But nothing has been perfectly Wrought to the aim which tortured me; In common grooves my life has run, Nor ever answered to my mind.
106 IN NO MAN'S LAND Like one, who hears a haunting sound Of music, magically wrought, Which floats above him and around; Who follows breathless, but in vain O'er hill and moor — so I, with pain Have toiled thro' life's enchanted ground.
