Battle

By Wilfrid Wilson Gibson

Hill-born

I SOMETIMES wonder if it’s really true

I ever knew

Another life

Than this unending strife

With unseen enemies in lowland mud;

And wonder if my blood

Thrilled ever to the tune

Of clean winds blowing through an April noon

Mile after sunny mile

On the green ridges of the Windy Gile.
