Behind the wagon that we flung him in,
And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,
His hanging face, like a devil's sick of sin;

Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,
Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud
of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,

To children ardent for some desperate glory,
The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est
Pro patria mori.
(Wilfred Owen, "Dulce Et Decorum Est")
