Siegfried Sassoon - The Dug-out
Work rating: Medium

Why do you lie with your legs ungainly huddled, 
And one arm bent across your sullen, cold, 
Exhausted face? It hurts my heart to watch you, 
Deep-shadowed from the candle`s guttering gold; 
And you wonder why I shake you by the shoulder; 
Drowsy, you mumble and sigh and turn your head…
You are too young to fall asleep for ever; 
And when you sleep you remind me of the dead.
