"Oui, ça ne dure pas longtemps, tu sais."

"Here, cover him up—he's cold!

Shove the stretcher—it's stuck! That's it—he's in!"

Poor chap, not twenty years old.

"Bon-soir, messieurs—à tout à l'heure!"

And you feel for the hell-struck road.

It's ten miles off to the surgery,

With Death and a boy for your load.

Praise God for that rocket in the trench,

Green on the ghastly sky—
