Book XXXII: From Noon to Starry Night - Old War-Dreams

In midnight sleep of many a face of anguish,
Of the look at first of the mortally wounded, (of that indescribable look,)
Of the dead on their backs with arms extended wide,
          I dream, I dream, I dream.

Of scenes of Nature, fields and mountains,
Of skies so beauteous after a storm, and at night the moon so 
        unearthly bright,
Shining sweetly, shining down, where we dig the trenches and 
        gather the heaps,
          I dream, I dream, I dream.

Long have they pass'd, faces and trenches and fields,
Where through the carnage I moved with a callous composure, or away
        from the fallen,
Onward I sped at the time—but now of their forms at night,
          I dream, I dream, I dream.
