Siegfried Sassoon - Stand-To: Good Friday Morning

Siegfried Sassoon - Stand-To: Good Friday Morning

I’d been on duty from two till four. br I went and stared at the dug-out door. br Down in the frowst I heard them snore. br ‘Stand to!’ Somebody grunted and swore. br Dawn was misty; the skies were still; br Larks were singing, discordant, shrill; br They seemed happy; but I felt ill. br Deep in water I splashed my way br Up the trench to our bogged front line. br Rain had fallen the whole damned night.
