' Rough it he did out in France during the first year of the war, but, cheerful and a sturdy optimist, he ignored his hardships in his letters or made a jest of them. Most of his verse dates from his civilian days ; of the four poems he wrote at the front, two are in a lighter vein, blithely anticipating peace, and commemorating the luck of his battery ; one calls upon Red, the king of colours, to pay homage henceforth to Khaki ; and the fourth, ' A Calm Night at the Front, ' sketches the scene... around him and the thoughts that it stirs in him : . . . The rifle fire has died away, All silent now : the moon on high Would set a truce until the day, God staying the hand of destiny. . . . O womenfolk of British lands, Who toil and sweat in holiest cause, Oh raise in prayer your clasped hands That men may see the curse of wars Clifford Flower 197 A single star-light held in space Has filled the trench with radiance white, A cautious soldier hides his face, Somebody 's calling, so good-night.
