| | | I SAW Chalandry gassed: | |
| Four hundred men— | |
| Blind, retching, snuffling— | |
| Staggering past. | |
| |
| The colonel and his staff, | 5 |
| Our ninety-sixth— | |
| Men, horses, officers— | |
| Over half. | |
| |
| Two carried one, and all | |
| Whose sight remained | 10 |
| Led columns wavering, | |
| Quick to fall. | |
| |
| Those, silent, stumbled by, | |
| And brushed their eyes | |
| With grimy rags or fists | 15 |
| Unendingly. | |
| |
| Out of the night they came, | |
| And all day long; | |
| And then another night, | |
| Still the same. | 20 | | | |
