Siegfried Sassoon - The Road To Ruin
Work rating: Medium

    My hopes, my messengers I sent
    Across the ten years continent
    Of Time. In dream I saw them go--

    And thought, `When they come back I`ll show
    To what far place I lead my friends
    Where this disastrous decade ends.`

    Like one in purgatory, I learned
    The loss of hope. For none returned,
    And long in darkening dream I lay.
    Then came a ghost whose warning breath
    Gasped from an agony of death,
    `No, not that way; no, not that way.`
