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. + 
