Bringer of fearful tidings came
His face was like a horror laughing fame,
His knees were crimson with undarkened

Gasping he gave his message, and we fed
Down the lean, barren, shell-combed road,
His face before us as a living goad.

Blindly the needless thunders broke
With yelling laughter up the summer sky:
And rocks and trees were idly tossed on

And staggered back that glazing way again.
One bleeding being, ever, ever nigh.
