ROBERT A. DONALDSON A pitch-black road, and rain; Mud underfoot; No lights; The crunch of wheels; The jangle of a chain; The noisy bumping of a camion train. Dim forms; The shuffling steps of men; The slush of mud; A vivid lightning flash, A rocket's glare, A shell's slow droning through the air. Black dank woods; An endless wagon line; A spurt of fire, Across—then blackness; Endless rain; The noisy bumping of a camion train. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SPOON RIVER ANTHOLOGY: MRS.
