THE BAYONET, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: This bloody steel
Last Line: That dying squeal.


This bloody steel
Has killed a man.
I heard him squeal
As on I ran.

He watched me come
With wagging head.
I pressed it home,
And he was dead.

Though clean and clear
I've wiped the steel,
I still can hear
That dying squeal.
