"Unknown q. s. soldier"

''Dulce et decorum est pro patria mort"
The hot sky would split with the uproar
That day when they fought;
This rest in the stiffness and shadow
Gives time for long thought;
He must think OF one strange revelation,
One thrilling surprise
1t is better to think with cool darkness
Laid over your eyes.
Time enough for deep thought while the
branches
With winter are dumb
When the great sun swings far to the
northward
And summer has come
He lies hushed with the wonderful knowl-
edge
Re holds in his breast
And the bright flag droops always above
him
To honor his rest.
Rough and reckless and headstrong and
violent.
Tinglng with life,
Charmed once by the call Of the drums
And the sound Of the fife
That day when they waited and waited
And knew they must die,
Where was comfort for him, where was
help
Beneath the hot skyf
All the life beating strong in bis body
Revolted, out-cried
Against dying no courage or passion
But only his pride
Sent him ON with the others, despairlng
And hating it all,
And faint with sick horror at seeing them
Stumble and fall!
Far out on the crest Of the battle,
Up, up toward the death
ITO die for ones country is sweet -
he remembered,
And then. out Of breath,
Met the shock and the pain and the terror
Unhinching and knew
In one instant's unbearable brightness
II was true 1t was true!
