" Damn. * Abide with Me . . . ' Not now ! Well ... If you must: just your way. It racks me till the tears nigh flow. The tune see-saws. I turn, I pray Behind my hand. Shaken, unmanned, In groans that God may understand: Miracle ! " Let, let them all survive this hell. " Hear * Trumpeter, what are you sound- ing ?' swell. (My God ! I guess indeed too well : The broken heart, eyes front, proud knell !) Grant but mine sound with their farewell. " It's the Last Post Pm sounding" 4 1 VII. BATTERY MO...VING UP TO A NEW POSITION FROM REST CAMP: DAWN NOT a sign of life we rouse In any square close-shuttered house That flanks the road we amble down Toward far trenches through the town. The dark, snow-slushy, empty street. . . . Tingle of frost in brow and feet. . . . Horse-breath goes dimly up like smoke. No sound but the smacking stroke Of a sergeant flings each arm Out and across to keep him warm, And the sudden splashing crack Of ice-pools broken by our track. More dark houses, yet no sign Of life.
