[00:17.62] | Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, |
[00:21.26] | Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, |
[00:26.75] | Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs |
[00:30.82] | And towards our distant rest began to trudge. |
[00:35.75] | Men marched asleep. |
[00:39.27] | Many had lost their boots. |
[00:40.44] | But limped on, blood-shod. |
[00:44.57] | All went lame; all blind; |
[00:48.08] | Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots |
[00:51.68] | of disappointed shells that dropped behind. |
[00:55.71] | Gas! Gas! Quick, boys! - An ecstasy of fumbling, |
[01:00.28] | Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time; |
[01:03.18] | But someone still was yelling out and stumbling |
[01:05.52] | And floundering like a man in fire or lime …… |
[01:08.90] | Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light, |
[01:12.11] | As under a green sea, I saw him drowning. |
[01:18.35] | In all my dreams, before my helpless sight, |
[01:22.40] | He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning. |
[01:31.34] | If in some smothering dreams you too could pace |
[01:34.44] | Behind the wagon that we flung him in, |
[01:37.11] | And watch the white eyes writhing in his face, |
[01:40.24] | His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin; |
[01:44.71] | If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood |
[01:48.16] | Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs, |
[01:51.63] | Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud of vile, |
[01:55.24] | Incurable sores on innocent tongues, |
[01:58.56] | My friend, you would not tell with such high zest |
[02:02.92] | To children ardent for some desperate glory, |
[02:07.76] | The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est |
[02:12.25] | Pro patria mori. |
