TALE OF A WOUND STRIPE.
One year ago this July morn.
While roostng on the River Marine,
A German shell raised quite a mess,
Because the thing had my address.
They rode me in an ambulance
That shivered like the shimmy dance,
And when, at length. we stopped for air.
We saw the name "Coulommiers''
That night. to add to older crimes.
The Germans bombed us seven times.
But though they murdered with a curse,
One held her ground-the Red Cross nurse.
The morning brought a soothing rain,
Together with a Red Cross train,
And from that zone Of death and strife
They sped us to a Calmer life.
One year ago-and yet today
We live In quite a pleasant way.
