—“Soon now, a little longer. Can you sleep?

I’ll watch for you.”⁠—“Sleep, is it? That’s ahead,

But none till then. Listen: I’ve bled too deep

To last out till the morning. I’ll be dead

Within the hour⁠—sleep then. I’ve heard it said

They don’t mind at the last, but this is Hell.

If I’d the strength⁠—I have such things to tell.”
