The Bayonet
written by Wilfrid Wilson Gibson
Link to further information




This bloody steel
Has killed a man.
I heard him squeal
As on I ran.

He watched me come
With wagging head.
I pressed it home
And he was dead.

Though clean and clear
I've wiped the steel,
I still can hear
That dying squeal.
