Attack - By Siegfried Sassoon

At dawn the ridge emerges massed and dunIn the wild purple of the glowering sun,Smouldering through spouts of drifting smoke that shroud The menacing scarred slope; and, one by one, Tanks creep and topple forward to the wire.

The barrage roars and lifts. Then, clumsily bowedWith bombs and guns and shovels and battle-gear,Men jostle and climb to meet the bristling fire.Lines of grey, muttering faces, masked with fear,

They leave their trenches, going over the top, While time ticks blank and busy on their wrists,And hope, with furtive eyes and grappling fists, Flounders in mud. O Jesu, make it stop!
