Shadows of dead men stand by the wall'

Watching the fun of the Victory Ball. They do not reproach them, because they know,

If they're forgotten- tis better so..

Beneath the dancing feet lie the graves, *** Dazzle and motley in long bright waves,

Brushed by the palm-fronds grapple and whirl

Ox-eyed matron and slim white girl.

Fat wet bodies go waddling by

Girded in satin though God knows why, Gripped by satyrs in white and black

With a fat hand on a fat wet back...

Learning the ropes as the old hands rule, Christ How that dead boy gapes and grins
