letra de dulce et decorum est - et verbi sathanus

bend double,like old beggars under sacks
knock-kneed,coughing like hags,we cursed through sludge
till on the haunting flares we turned our backs
and towards our distant rest began to trudge
men marched asleep.many had lost their boots
but limped on,blood-shod.all went lame;all blind;
drunk with fatigue;deaf even to the hoots
of tired,outstripped five-nines that dropped behind

gas!gas!quick,boys!-an ecstasy of fumbling
fitting the clumsy helmets just in time;
but someone still was yelling out and stumbling
and floundring like a man in fire of lime…
dim,through the misty panes and thick green light
as under a green sea,i saw him drowning

in all my dreams,before my helpless sight
he plunges at me,guttering,shocking,drowning

if in some smothering dreams you too could pace
behind the wagon that we flung him in
and watch the white eyes writhing in his face
his hanging face,like a devils sick of sin;
if you could hear,at every jolt,the blood
come garling from the froth-corrupted lungs
obscene as cancer,bitter as the cud
of vile,incurable sores on inocent tongues
my friend,you would not tell with such high zest
to children ardent for some desperate glory
the old truth;
dulce et decorum est
pro patria mori

- et verbi sathanus
