lirik lagu david moore - disabled
he sat in a wheeled chair, waiting for dark
and shivered in his ghastly suit of grey
legless, sewn short at elbow. through the park
voices of boys rang saddening like a hymn
voices of play and pleasure after day
till gathering sleep had mothered them from him
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
about this time town used to swing so gay
when glow~lamps budded in the light~blue trees
and girls glanced lovelier as the air grew dim,—
in the old times, before he threw away his knees
now he will never feel again how slim
girls’ waists are, or how warm their subtle hands
all of them touch him like some queer disease
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
there was an artist silly for his face
for it was younger than his youth, last year
now, he is old; his back will never brace;
he’s lost his colour very far from here
poured it down sh~ll~holes till the veins ran dry
and half his lifetime lapsed in the hot race
and leap of purple spurted from his thigh
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
one time he liked a blood~smear down his leg
after the matches carried shoulder~high
it was after football, when he’d drunk a peg
he thought he’d better join. he wonders why
someone had said he’d look a god in kilts
that’s why; and maybe, too, to please his meg
aye, that was it, to please the giddy jilts
he asked to join. he didn’t have to beg;
smiling they wrote his lie: aged nineteen years
germans he scarcely thought of, all their guilt
and austria’s, did not move him. and no fears
of fear came yet. he thought of jewelled hilts
for daggers in plaid socks; of smart salutes;
and care of arms; and leave; and pay arrears;
esprit de corps; and hints for young recruits
and soon, he was drafted out with drums and cheers
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
some cheered him home, but not as crowds cheer goal
only a solemn man who brought him fruits
thanked him; and then inquired about his soul
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
now, he will spend a few sick years in institutes
and do what things the rules consider wise
and take whatever pity they may dole
tonight he noticed how the women’s eyes
passed from him to the strong men that were whole
how cold and late it is! why don’t they come
and put him into bed? why don’t they come?
