Verses Written by a Soldier in the Trenches

At night, in dream,
I saw those fields round home,
Agleam,
Drenched all with dew,
Beneath day’s newest dome
Of gold and blue.
All night....
All night they shone for me, and then
Came light.
And suddenly I awoke, and lovely joy!
I was at home, with the fields gold as when
I was a boy.
