I came by night to Th lus wood	A
And though in dark and desperate places	B
Stubborned with wire and brown with blood	C
Undaunted April crept and sewed	D
Her violets in dead men's faces	B
And in a soft and snowy shroud	E
Drew the scarred fields with gentle stitch	F
Though in the valley where the ditch	F
Was hoarse with nettles blind with mud	C
She stroked the golden headed bud	C
And loosed the fern she dared not here	G
To touch nor tend this murdered thing	H
The wind went wide of it the year	I
Upon this breast stopped short of Spring	H
Beauty turned back from Th lus Wood	A
	-
From broken brows the dim eyes stared	J
Blistered and maimed the wide stumps grinned	K
From the black mouth of Th lus bared	J
In laughter at some monstrous jest	L
No creature moved there weed nor wind	M
Huge arms half torn from savage breast	L
Hung wide and tangled limbs and faces	B
Lay as if giants blind and stark	N
With violent with perverse embraces	O
Groped for each other in the dark	N
A moaning rose not of the wind	M
There was no wind but hollowly	P
From its dim bed of mud each tree	Q
Gave forth a sound till trees and mud	C
Seemed but a single sighing mouth	R
A wound that spoke with lips uncouth	S
And cried to me from Th lus Wood	A
	-
I heard one tree say 'This was I	T
Who drew great clouds across the sky	T
To weep against me ' This one said	U
'I made a gloom where love might lie	T
All day and dream it night a bed	U
Secret and soft the birds' song had	V
A twilight sound the whole day there '	-
One said 'Last night I shook my hair	W
Before the mirror of the moon '	-
'I saw a corpse to day ' said one	X
'That was but buried yester year '	-
And one the smallest sweetest thing	H
A fair child tree made never stir	Y
Dead before God had tended her	Y
In the green nurseries of Spring	H
She lay the loveliest loneliest	V
Among the old and ruined trees	Z
And at each small and broken wrist	V
The white flowers grew like bandages	B
	-
Then from the ruined churchyard where	W
Old vaults and graves lay turned and tossed	V
And earth from earth was shaken bare	W
Came murmurings of a tongueless host	V
That to each ghastly brother said	V
'Who raised us from our sleep Is this	A2
The resurrection of the dead	V
Upon our bodies no flesh grows	B2
No bright blood through our temples springs	C2
No glory spreads no trumpet blows	B2
The air is not white and blind with wings	C2
And yet dragged up before us lie	T
The woods of Th lus at our feet	V
And strange hills sentinel the sky	T
And where the road went yawns a pit	V
The world is finished let us sleep	D2
God has forgotten we shall keep	D2
Here a sweet safe Eternity	V
There is no other end than this	A2
And this is death and that is peace '	-
But even as they ceased the stones	E2
Were loosed the earth shook where I stood	V
And from far off the crouching guns	F2
Swung slowly round on Th lus Wood	V
