Siegfried Sassoon - Ex-ServiceSiegfried Sassoon - Ex-Service
Work rating: Medium


        Derision from the dead         Mocks armamental madness.         Redeem (each Ruler said)         Mankind. Men died to do it.         And some with glorying gladness         Bore arms for earth and bled:         But most went glumly through it         Dumbly doomed to rue it.         The darkness of their dying         Grows one with War recorded;         Whose swindled ghosts are crying         From shell-holes in the past,         Our deeds with lies were lauded,         Our bones with wrongs rewarded.         Dream voices these—denying         Dud laurels to the last.
