1 The Soldier by Rupert Brooke If I should die, think only this of me: That there's some corner of a foreign field That is for ever England. There shall be In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, A body of England's, breathing English air, Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. And think, this heart, all evil shed away, A pulse in the eternal mind, no less Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
2 DULCE ET DECORUM EST(1) Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares(2) we turned our backs And towards our distant rest(3) 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(4) Of tired, outstripped(5) Five-Nines(6) that dropped behind. Gas! (7) Gas! Quick, boys! An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets(8) just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime(9)... Dim, through the misty panes(10) 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,(11) choking, 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 devil's sick of sin; If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud(12) Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest(13) To children ardent(14) for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori.(15) Wilfred Owen 8 October March, 1918
3 Notes on Dulce et Decorum Est 1. DULCE ET DECORUM EST - the first words of a Latin saying (taken from an ode by Horace). The words were widely understood and often quoted at the start of the First World War. They mean "It is sweet and right." The full saying ends the poem: Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country. 2. Flares - rockets which were sent up to burn with a brilliant glare to light up men and other targets in the area between the front lines (See illustration, page 118 of Out in the Dark.) 3. Distant rest - a camp away from the front line where exhausted soldiers might rest for a few days, or longer 4. Hoots - the noise made by the shells rushing through the air 5. Outstripped - outpaced, the soldiers have struggled beyond the reach of these shells which are now falling behind them as they struggle away from the scene of battle 6. Five-Nines calibre explosive shells 7. Gas! - poison gas. From the symptoms it would appear to be chlorine or phosgene gas. The filling of the lungs with fluid had the same effects as when a person drowned 8. Helmets - the early name for gas masks 9. Lime - a white chalky substance which can burn live tissue 10. Panes - the glass in the eyepieces of the gas masks
4 11. Guttering - Owen probably meant flickering out like a candle or gurgling like water draining down a gutter, referring to the sounds in the throat of the choking man, or it might be a sound partly like stuttering and partly like gurgling 12. Cud - normally the regurgitated grass that cows chew usually green and bubbling. Here a similar looking material was issuing from the soldier's mouth 13. High zest - idealistic enthusiasm, keenly believing in the rightness of the idea 14. ardent - keen 15. Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - see note 1 above. These notes are taken from the book, Out in the Dark, Poetry of the First World War, where other war poems that need special explanations are similarly annotated. The ideal book for students getting to grips with the poetry of the First World War.
5 Glory of women Siegfried Sassoon [ You love us when we're heroes, home on leave, Or wounded in a mentionable place. You worship decorations; you believe That chivalry redeems the war's disgrace. You make us shells. You listen with delight, By tales of dirt and danger fondly thrilled. You crown our distant ardours while we fight, And mourn our laurelled memories when we're killed. You can't believe that British troops "retire" When hell's last horror breaks them, and they run, Trampling the terrible corpses--blind with blood. O German mother dreaming by the fire, While you are knitting socks to send your son His face is trodden deeper in the mud.
6 Does It Matter? Siegfried Sassoon Does it matter?-losing your legs? For people will always be kind, And you need not show that you mind When others come in after hunting To gobble their muffins and eggs. Does it matter?-losing you sight? There s such splendid work for the blind; And people will always be kind, As you sit on the terrace remembering And turning your face to the light. Do they matter-those dreams in the pit? You can drink and forget and be gald, And people won't say that you re mad; For they know that you've fought for your country, And no one will worry a bit.
7 A War Film Teresa Hooley (Not a soldier) I saw, With a catch of breath and the heart s uplifting, Sorrow and pride, The week s great draw - The Mon Retreat; The Old Contemptibles who fought, and died, The horror, the anguish and the glory. As in a dream, Still hearing machine-guns rattle and shells scream, I came out into the street. When the day was done, My little son Wondered at bath-time why I kissed him som Naked upon my knee How could he know The sudden terror that assaulted me?. The body I had borne Nine moons beneath my heart, A part of me.. If, someday It should be taken away To War. Tortured, Torn. Slain. Rotting in o Man s Land, out in the rain My little son. How should he know Why I kissed and kissed and kissed him, crooning his name? He though that I was daft. He thought it was a game, And laughed and laughed.
8 Exposure Wilfred Owen I 1 Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knife us... 2 Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent... 3 Low drooping flares confuse our memory of the salient... 4 Worried by silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous, 5 But nothing happens. 6 Watching, we hear the mad gusts tugging on the wire. 7 Like twitching agonies of men among its brambles. 8 Northward incessantly, the flickering gunnery rumbles, 9 Far off, like a dull rumour of some other war. 10 What are we doing here? 11 The poignant misery of dawn begins to grow We only know war lasts, rain soaks, and clouds sag stormy. 13 Dawn massing in the east her melancholy army 14 Attacks once more in ranks on shivering ranks of gray, 15 But nothing happens. 16 Sudden successive flights of bullets streak the silence. 17 Less deadly than the air that shudders black with snow, 18 With sidelong flowing flakes that flock, pause and renew, 19 We watch them wandering up and down the wind's nonchalance, 20 But nothing happens.
9 II 21 Pale flakes with lingering stealth come feeling for our faces-- 22 We cringe in holes, back on forgotten dreams, and stare, snow-dazed, 23 Deep into grassier ditches. So we drowse, sun-dozed, 24 Littered with blossoms trickling where the blackbird fusses. 25 Is it that we are dying? 26 Slowly our ghosts drag home: glimpsing the sunk fires glozed 27 With crusted dark-red jewels; crickets jingle there; 28 For hours the innocent mice rejoice: the house is theirs; 29 Shutters and doors all closed: on us the doors are closed-- 30 We turn back to our dying. 31 Since we believe not otherwise can kind fires burn; 32 Now ever suns smile true on child, or field, or fruit. 33 For God's invincible spring our love is made afraid; 34 Therefore, not loath, we lie out here; therefore were born, 35 For love of God seems dying. 36 To-night, His frost will fasten on this mud and us, 37 Shrivelling many hands and puckering foreheads crisp. 38 The burying-party, picks and shovels in their shaking grasp, 39 Pause over half-known faces. All their eyes are ice, 40 But nothing happens.
10 The Sentry Wilfred Owen We'd found an old Boche dug-out, and he knew, And gave us hell, for shell on frantic shell Hammered on top, but never quite burst through. Rain, guttering down in waterfalls of slime Kept slush waist high, that rising hour by hour, Choked up the steps too thick with clay to climb. What murk of air remained stank old, and sour With fumes of whizz-bangs, and the smell of men Who'd lived there years, and left their curse in the den, If not their corpses.... There we herded from the blast Of whizz-bangs, but one found our door at last. Buffeting eyes and breath, snuffing the candles. And thud! flump! thud! down the steep steps came thumping And splashing in the flood, deluging muck The sentry's body; then his rifle, handles Of old Boche bombs, and mud in ruck on ruck. We dredged him up, for killed, until he whined "O sir, my eyes I'm blind I'm blind, I'm blind! " Coaxing, I held a flame against his lids And said if he could see the least blurred light He was not blind; in time he'd get all right. "I can't," he sobbed. Eyeballs, huge-bulged like squids Watch my dreams still; but I forgot him there In posting next for duty, and sending a scout To beg a stretcher somewhere, and floundering about To other posts under the shrieking air.
11 Those other wretches, how they bled and spewed, And one who would have drowned himself for good, I try not to remember these things now. Let dread hark back for one word only: how Half-listening to that sentry's moans and jumps, And the wild chattering of his broken teeth, Renewed most horribly whenever crumps Pummelled the roof and slogged the air beneath Through the dense din, I say, we heard him shout "I see your lights! " But ours had long died out.
12 MATEY (CAMBRIN, MAY 1915), by PATRICK MACGILL I; Not comin' back to-night, matey, And reliefs are comin' through, We're all goin' out all right, matey, Only we're leavin' you. Gawd! it's a bloody sin, matey, Now that we've finished the fight, We go when reliefs come in, matey, But you're stayin' 'ere to-night. Over the top is cold, matey, You lie on the field alone, Didn't I love you of old, matey, Better than blood of my own? You were my dearest chum, matey (Gawd! but your face is white) But now, though reliefs 'ave come, matey, I'm goin' alone to-night. I'd sooner the bullet was mine, matey, Goin' out on my own, Leavin' you 'ere in the line, matey, All by yourself, alone. Chum o' mine, and you're dead, matey, And this is the way we part, The bullet went through your head, matey, But Gawd! it went through me 'eart.
13 A Hundred Thousand Million Mites We Go By Charles Sorley A HUNDRED thousand million mites we go Wheeling and tacking o'er the eternal plain, Some black with death--and some are white with woe. Who sent us forth? Who takes us home again? And there is sound of hymns of praise--to whom? And curses--on whom curses?--snap the air. And there is hope goes hand in hand with gloom, And blood and indignation and despair. And there is murmuring of the multitude And blindness and great blindness, until some Step forth and challenge blind Vicissitude Who tramples on them: so that fewer come. And nations, ankle-deep in love or hate, Throw darts or kisses all the unwitting hour Beside the ominous unseen tide of fate; And there is emptiness and drink and power. And someare mounted on swift steeds of thought And some drag sluggish feet of stable toil. Yet all, as though they furiously sought, Twist turn and tussle, close and cling and coil. A hundred thousand million mites we sway Writhing and tossing on the eternal plain, Some black with death--but most are bright with Day! Who sent us forth? Who brings us home again? September 1914
