Explore "That Day" by Rudyard Kipling on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
It got beyond all orders an' it got beyond all 'ope; / It got to shammin' wounded an' retirin' from the 'alt. / 'Ole companies was lookin' for the nearest road to slope; / It were just a bloomin' knock-out -- an' our fault!
Now there ain't no chorus 'ere to give, / Nor there ain't no band to play; / An' I wish I was dead 'fore I done what I did, / Or seen what I seed that day!
