  6. SURVIVORS • No doubt they'll soon get well; the shock and strainHave caused their stammering, disconnected talk.Of course they're 'longing to go out again,' —These boys with old, scared faces, learning to walk.They'll soon forget their haunted nights; their cowedSubjection to the ghosts of friends who died,—Their dreams that drip with murder; and they'll be proudOf glorious war that shatter'd all their pride...Men who went out to battle, grim and glad;Children, with eyes that hate you, broken and mad.
