DEMOBBED.
India, 1920.
"I'm goin' home," said Hennessey, "for I've been East too long;
I want the English hedges an' fields an' the English thrush's song,
An' the honest English faces an' never nobody black;
It's home for mine," said Hennessey, "so it's down your tents and pack.
It'll pass out here
For a month or a year,
But not for a lifetime—no dam fear.
I want my folks," said Hennessey, "an' I'm jolly well goin' back."
