—“Soon now, a little longer. Can you sleep?

I’ll watch for you.”—“Sleep, is it? That’s ahead,

But none till then. Listen, I’ve bled too deep

To last out till the morning. I’ll be dead

Within the hour—sleep then. I’ve heard it said

They don’t mind at the last, but this is Hell.

If I’d the strength—I have such things to tell.”
