Among Those Killed In The Dawn Raid Was A Man Aged A Hundred

（单词翻译:单击）

When the morning was waking over the war

　　He put on his clothes and stepped out and he died，

　　The locks yawned loose and a blast blew them wide，

　　He dropped where he loved on the burst pavement stone

　　And the funeral grains of the slaughtered¹ floor.

　　Tell his street on its back he stopped a sun

　　And the craters² of his eyes grew springshots and fire

　　When all the keys shot from the locks， and rang.

　　Dig no more for the chains of his grey-haired heart.

　　The heavenly ambulance drawn³ by a wound

　　Assembling waits for the spade's ring on the cage.

　　O keep his bones away from the common cart，

　　The morning is flying on the wings of his age

　　And a hundred storks⁴ perch⁵ on the sun's right hand.
