Siegfried Sassoon - In An Underground Dressing Station
Work rating: Medium

Quietly they set their burden down: he tried
To grin; moaned; moved his head from side to side.

       

He gripped the stretcher; stiffened; glared; and screamed,
"O put my leg down, doctor, do!" (He`d got
A bullet in his ankle; and he`d been shot
Horribly through the guts.) The surgeon seemed
So kind and gentle, saying, above that crying,
"You must keep still, my lad." But he was dying.
