Rupert Brooke - DawnRupert Brooke - Dawn
Work rating: Low


Opposite me two Germans snore and sweat. Through sullen swirling gloom we jolt and roar. We have been here for ever:  even yet A dim watch tells two hours, two aeons, more. The windows are tight-shut and slimy-wet With a night`s foetor.  There are two hours more; Two hours to dawn and Milan; two hours yet. Opposite me two Germans sweat and snore. . . . One of them wakes, and spits, and sleeps again. The darkness shivers.  A wan light through the rain Strikes on our faces, drawn and white.  Somewhere A new day sprawls; and, inside, the foul air Is chill, and damp, and fouler than before. . . . Opposite me two Germans sweat and snore.
