Siegfried Sassoon (1886–1967).  Counter-Attack and Other Poems.  1918.

Suicide In The Trenches


I knew a simple soldier boy  
Who grinned at life in empty joy,  
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,  
And whistled early with the lark.  
  
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,          5
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,  
He put a bullet through his brain.  
No one spoke of him again.
    .    .    .    .
 
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye  
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,   10
Sneak home and pray you’ll never know  
The hell where youth and laughter go.
