"O hell!" He thought  "there's things in war one dare not tell Poor father sitting safe at home, who reads Of dying heroes and their deathless deeds." O HELL HE THOUGHT THERE'S THINGS IN WAR ONE DARE NOT TELL POOR FATHERS SITTING SAFE AT HOME WHO READS OF DYING HEROES AND THEIR DEATHLESS DEEDS
g words danced up and down his brain, While corpses jumped and capered in the rain. No, no; hfc wouldn't count them any more ... The dead have done with pain: They've choked; they can't come back to life again. When Dick was killed last week he looked like that, Flapping along the fire-step like a fish, After the blazing crump had knocked him flat ... "_How many dead? As many as ever you wish_. _Don't count 'em; they're too many_. _Who'll buy my nice fresh corpses, two a penny?_" REMORSE Lost in the swamp and welter of the pit, He flounders off the duck-boards; only he knows Each flash and spouting crash,--each instant lit When gloom reveals the streaming rain. He goes Heavily, blindly on. And, while he blunders, "Could anything be worse than this?"--he wonders, Remembering how he saw those Germans run, Screaming for mercy among the stumps of trees: Green-faced, they dodged and darted: there was one Livid with terror, clutching at his knees.... Our chaps were sticking 'em like pigs....  SECTION TWENTY THREE OF THE WAR POEMS OF SIGHED SESSOON BY SIGSOON READ FOR LIBERVOX DOTORG BY MARK HISSOCK REMORSE LOST IN THE SWAMP AND WELTER OF THE PIT HE FLOUNDERS OFF THE DUCK BOARDS ONLY HE KNOWS EACH FLASH AND SPOUTING CRASH EACH INSTANT LIT WHEN GLOOM REVEALS THE STREAMING RAIN HE GOES HEAVILY BLINDLY ON AND WHILE HE BLUNDERS COULD ANYTHING BE WORSE THAN THIS HE WONDERS REMEMBERING HOW HE SAW THOSE GERMANS RUN SCREAMING FOR MERCY AMONG THE STUMPS OF TREES GREEN FACED THEY DODGED AND DARTED THERE WAS ONE LIVID WITH TERROR CLUTCHING AT HIS KNEES OUR CHAPS WERE STICKING HIM LIKE PIGS
