The grim dawn lightens thin bleak clouds;
In the hill clefts beyond the flooded meadows Lies death-pale, death-still mist.
We trudge along wearily,
Heavy with lack of sleep,
Spiritless, yet with pretence of gaiety.
The sun brings crimson to the colourless sky; Light gleams from brass and steel—
We trudge on wearily—
O God, end this bleak anguish
Soon, soon, with vivid crimson death, End it in mist-pale sleep!
