NIGHTMARE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: They gave him a shilling
Last Line: The boy who's my son.


They gave him a shilling,
They gave him a gun,
And so he's gone killing
The Germans, my son.

I dream of that shilling --
I dream of that gun --
And it's they that are killing
The boy who's my son.
