The Call by Jessie Pope, 1915 Whos for the trench Are you, my laddie? Wholl follow French Will you, my laddie? Whos fretting to begin, Whos going out to win? And who wants to save his skin Do you, my laddie?Whos for the khaki suit Are you, my laddie? Who longs to charge and shoot Do you, my laddie? Whos keen on getting fit, Who means to show his grit, And whod rather wait a bit Would you, my laddie?Wholl earn the Empires thanks Will you, my laddie? Wholl swell the victors ranks Will you, my laddie? When that procession comes, Banners and rolling drums Wholl stand and bite his thumbs Will you, my laddie? 29. Dulce et Decorum Est by Wilfred Owen, 1917 Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest 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 Of tired, outstripped Five-Nines that dropped behind. Gas!(7) Gas! Quick, boys! An ecstasy of fumbling, Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; But someone still was yelling out and stumbling, And flound'ring like a man in fire or lime . . . Dim, through the misty panes 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, 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 Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues, My friend, you would not tell with such high zest To children ardent for some desperate glory, The old Lie; Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori. (It is sweet and right to die for ones country) 30. RealityReality of the war. Gas Attack, 1917. Image courtesy of the State Library of New York. 31.
