"Wake up, you swine asleep! Come out!

Un blessé—urgent—damned bad!"

A lamp streams in on the blood-stained white

And the mud-stained blue of the lad.

"Il est mort, m'sieu!" "So the poor chap's dead?"

Just there, then, on the road

You were driving a hearse in the hell-black night,

With Death and a boy for your load.

O dump him down in that yawning shed,

A man at his head and feet;
