A Letter From the Trenches to a School Friend by Charles Sorley — Sad Poetry Lines
I have not brought my Odyssey With me here across the sea; But you'll remember, when I say How, when they went down Sparta way, To sandy Sparta, long ere dawn Horses were harnessed, rations drawn, Equipment polished sparkling bright, And breakfasts swallowed (as the white Of eastern heavens turned to gold) - The dogs barked, swift farewells were told. The sun springs up, the horses neigh, Crackles the whip thrice-then away!
