Siegfried Sassoon - LamentationsSiegfried Sassoon - Lamentations
Work rating: Medium


I found him in the guard-room at the Base.   From the blind darkness I had heard his crying   And blundered in. With puzzled, patient face   A sergeant watched him; it was no good trying   To stop it; for he howled and beat his chest. And, all because his brother had gone west,   Raved at the bleeding war; his rampant grief   Moaned, shouted, sobbed, and choked, while he was kneeling   Half-naked on the floor. In my belief   Such men have lost all patriotic feeling.
