To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I'd tell of dug-out nights at Armageddon, Of funk-holes flooded, Of friendly firing-steps to lay one's head on With limbs disblooded, Of slumber snatched on sodden earthy couches With eighty rounds in those confounded pouches !
I'd tell of billets resting from the battle, Of heartless cases In which I've robbed lean swine and helpless cattle Of sleeping-places, 29 TO A PAIR OF SHEETS Of all the creaking stable-lofts I've dossed in, Of all the mouldy straw I've turned and tossed in.
I'd tell of ...damp repose and uncomplaining By haystacks various, Of naps with Huns above me aeroplaning In skies precarious, Of forty winks beneath a bivvy sopping Or behind walls with high explosives dropping !
But what's the use ? The dreams those slumbers brought me, Though my bones ached me, The soothing vision of short leave that sought me Ere kicks awaked me Were sweet. Think not, my sheets, that I regret them, Though in your chaste embraces I forget them.
30 TO A PAIR OF SHEETS May Allah bless, soft sheets, the hand that made you, And bought and sold you, That weaved, and hemmed, and washed, and aired, and laid you ; Could they behold you Comfort divine to my poor body giving, They'd not regret in linen lay their living !
