First Line: Down in the hollow there's the whole brigade
Last Line: To take some cursed wood ... O world god made!
Subject(s): Soldiers' Writings; World War I; First World War
DOWN in the hollow there's the whole Brigade
Camped in four groups: through twilight falling slow
I hear a sound of mouth-organs, ill-played,
And murmur of voices, gruff, confused, and low.
Crouched among thistle-tufts I've watched the glow
Of a blurred orange sunset flare and fade;
And I'm content. To-morrow we must go
To take some cursed Wood ... O world God made!
