Explore "Headquarters" by Gilbert Frankau on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
A league and a league from the trenches, / from the traversed maze of the lines, -- / Where daylong the sniper watches and daylong the / bullet whines, / And the cratered earth is in travail with mines and / with countermines, --
Here, where haply some woman dreamed, (are / those her roses that bloom / In the garden beyond the windows of my littered / working-room? ) / We have decked the map for our masters as a bride / is decked for the groom.
