Exposure (Wilfred Owen poem) Poem Text

Exposure (Excerpt)

Our brains ache, in the merciless iced east winds that knive us . . .

Wearied we keep awake because the night is silent . . .

Low drooping flares confuse our memory of the salient . . .

Worried by silence, sentries whisper, curious, nervous,

But nothing happens.

- Wilfred Owen
