Now he's asking of his doctor, and he's panting hard for breath ilow soon he will be ready for another bout with death, Yon think 11 you had wakened in a shell hole's slime and mull That was party dirty water, but was mostly human blood, And you had to Ile and suffer till the bullets ceased to hunt And the night time dropped its cover, so the stretcher boys could come, 1f you'd suffered all the torture of a fever and its thirst And could hear the "rapids" spitting and the:high explosives burst, And had lived to tell that story you could face your fellow -men In the little' peaceful village though you never fought again. You think that once you'd fallen in the shrapnel's deadly rain, . • Once you'd shed your blood for honor you had borne your share of pain Once you'd travelled No Man's country you'd be satisfied to quit And be invalided homeward and could say you'd done your bit. 13ut he's lying, patched and bandaggil;' very white and very weak, And he's trying to be cheerful, though it's agony to speak; ile is pleading with the doctor, and he's panting hard for breath, To return hint to the trenches for an- other bout with death. —B, 1-1.
