VICTORY, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: I watched it oozing quietly Last Line: His life was running out. | ||||||||
I watched it oozing quietly Out of the gaping gash. The lads thrust on to victory With lunge and curse and crash. Half-dazed, that uproar seemed to me Like some old battle-sound Heard long ago, as quietly His blood soaked in the ground. The lads thrust on to victory With lunge and crash and shout. I lay and watched, as quietly His life was running out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...BETWEEN THE LINES by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON BREAKFAST by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FLANNAN ISLE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON FOR G. by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON GERANIUMS by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON LAMENT by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON RETREAT by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON RUPERT BROOKE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE GORSE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON THE ICE by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON |
