Nobodys lfrom the fields of the dead where the gray ants were crawling, Bringing the wounded to shelter and rest, Fields riddled and torn by the guns' devastation, That God once had nourished as fair as the bestg From No-Man's Land deep in the vapors of darkness V Deep in the silence of agonized pain, He was dragged with the others, his comrades of suffering, Back to the trench hole in which he had lain. All little nobodies, some from New England- A world where they lived by the rise of the sun, Caught in the wave that had crushed them, then broke them,- He had gone with the first at the boom of the gun. Continued Over the top with the boom in his eardrums, Over and on with the glare in his eyesg When he lay like an infant the swallows were cooing, And the sunlight was glinting the reapers and scythes. He lay in the debris, his manhood departed, His mind and his soul slipping softly to sea, And he dreamed of New England, the meadows of mush- rooms, The twittering birds' outpoured melody, Back to the life he had left in the springtime Before there was terror, carnage and bloodg One of the Nobodys rising by thousands To stop by their manhood the Teutonic flood. v Page Sixty-six

I 'age Sixty-five QT E R A Y H I? e ' F F 1 . Nobodys By ELEANOR CORYELL, JR. From the fields of New England when spring life was rising, In a world that seemed warm and drowsy with peaceg ln the mating time, swallows were filling the barn eaves, And rioting wildly in joy without ceaseg From the pasture lands billowing under the breezes Scented and cool, bending low the long grass, Where he called, as the shadows creep into the hollows To big brown-eyed cows as they languidly passg From the village that sloped to the banks of the river, The river that once swept him out to the sea- He was carried by tides of a torrent tremendous That deafened him, frightened him, cast him to sea.
