POEMS FROM CAMP AND TRENCH<br />

THE TROOP SHIP<br />

Grotesque and queerly huddled<br />

Contortionists to twist<br />

The sleepy soul to a sleep,<br />

We lie all sorts of ways<br />

And cannot sleep.<br />

The wet wind is so cold.<br />

And the lurching men so careless,<br />

That, should you drop to a doze,<br />

Winds 1<br />

fumble or men's feet<br />

Are on your face.<br />
