    Owen uses vivid language to describe the suffering of a disabled soldier. The soldier sits shivering in his grey suit, legless and with shortened arms, waiting for darkness in his wheelchair. The boys' voices ringing out sadly recall happier times before the war, like when the town used to swing in a more joyous mood. The soldier lies injured with veins drained dry from blood poured into shell holes on the battlefield, and his leg spurted purple blood from a wound. Though only nineteen, he was accepted to join the army after smiling as they wrote his age as a lie, not having to beg his way in. Others now wonder why no one comes to put the suffering soldier properly to bed.

    He sat in a wheeled
    chair, waiting for
    dark, And shivered in
    his ghastly suit of
    grey
    Legless, sewn short
    at elbow.

    ‘Voices of boys rang


    saddening like a
    hymn’

    ‘About this time


    Town used to swing
    so gay

    ‘He’s lost his colour


    very far from here’

    come/And put him
    into bed?’
