[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.
