As I lay in the trenches Under the Hunter's moon, My mind ran to the lenchés Cut in Wiltshire down. I saw their long black-abadows, The becches in the lane, The grey ohurch in the meadows And my white cottage-plain,
Thinka I, the down lies dreaming Under that hot moon's eye, Which sees the shells fly screaming And, men and horses die.
And what makes show, I wonder, Of the horror and the blood, And what's her luck, to sunder The evil from the good?
'Twas more than I could compaea, For how was I to think With such infernal rumpus In such a blasted stink?
But here's a thought to tally With 'other. That moon sees A shrouded German valley With woods and ghostly trees. And maybe there'e a živor As we have got at home With poplar-trees aquiver. And clote of whirling foam.
