he left; And stumbling figures looming out in front. "O Christ, they're coming at us!" Bullets spat, And he remembered his rifle ... rapid fire ... And started blazing wildly ... then a bang Crumpled and spun him sideways, knocked him out To grunt and wriggle: none heeded him; he choked And fought the flapping veils of smothering gloom, Lost in a blurred confusion of yells and groans. Down, and down, and down, he sank and drowned, Bleeding to death. The counter-attack had failed. THE EFFECT "The effect of our bombardment was terrific. One man told me he had never seen so many dead before." _War Correspondent_. "_He'd never seen so many dead before_." They sprawled in yellow daylight while he swore And gasped and lugged his everlasting load Of bombs along what once had been a road. "_How peaceful are the dead_." Who put that silly gag in some one's head? "_He'd never seen so many dead before_." The lilting words danced up and down his brain, While corpses jumped and capered in the rain.
