lirik lagu edgell rickword - winter warfare / the soldier addresses his body
colonel cold strode up the line
(tabs of rime and spurs of ice);
stiffened all that met his glare:
horses, men and lice
visited a forward post
left them burning, ear to foot;
fingers stuck to biting steel
toes to frozen boot
stalked on into no man’s land
turned the wire to fleecy wool
iron stakes to sugar sticks
snapping at a pull
those who watched with h~~ry eyes
saw two figures gleaming there;
hauptmann kalte, colonel old
gaunt in the grey air
stiffly, tinkling spurs they moved
glassy~eyed, with glinting heel
stabbing those who lingered there
torn by screaming steel
i shall be mad if you get smashed about
we’ve had good times together, you and i;
although you groused a bit when luck was out
say a girl turned us down, or we went dry
but there’s a world of things we haven’t done
countries not seen, where people do strange things;
eat fish alive, and mimic in the sun
the solemn gestures of their stone~grey kings
i’ve heard of forests that are dim at noon
where snakes and creepers wrestle all day long;
where vivid beasts grow pale with the full moon
gibber and cry, and wail a mad old song;
because at the full moon the hippogriff
with crinkled ivory snout and agate feet
with his green eye will glare them cold and stiff
for the coward wyvern to come down and eat
vodka and kvass, and bitter mountain wines
we’ve never drunk; nor sn~tched the bursting grapes
to pelt slim girls among sicilian vines
who’d fl!cker through the leaves, faint frolic shapes
yes, there’s a world of things we’ve never done
but it’s a sweat to knock them into rhyme
let’s have a drink, and give the cards a run
and leave dull verse to the dull peaceful time
