That isna Henry limping. That's a hobble
clapped on mere Henry by the most high GOD
for the freedom of Henry's soul.
-”The body's foul, cried god, once, twice, & bound it-”
For many years I hid it from him successfully-”
I'm not clear how he found it

But now he has it-”much good may it do him
in the vacant spiritual of space-”
only Russians & Americans 
to as it were converse with-”weel, one Frenchman
to liven up the airless with one nose
& opinions clever & grim.

God declared war on Valerie Trueblood, 
against Miss Kaplan he had much to say
O much to say too.
My memory of his kindness comes like a flood
for which I flush with gratitude; yet away 
he shouldna have put down Miss Trueblood.

 (Non-commissioned Officers in Charge of Prisoners)
When by the labor of my 'ands
 I've 'elped to pack a transport tight 
With prisoners for foreign lands, 
 I ain't transported with delight.
 I know it's only just an' right,
 But yet it somehow sickens me,
For I 'ave learned at Waterval
 The meanin' of captivity.

Be'ind the pegged barb-wire strands,
 Beneath the tall electric light,
We used to walk in bare-'ead bands,
 Explainin' 'ow we lost our fight;
 An' that is what they'll do to-night
 Upon the steamer out at sea,
If I 'ave learned at Waterval
 The meanin' of captivity.

They'll never know the shame that brands--
 Black shame no liven'' down makes white--
The mockin' from the sentry-stands,
 The women's laugh, the gaoler's spite.
 We are too bloomin'-much polite,
 But that is 'ow I'd 'ave us be . . .
Since I 'ave learned at Waterval
 The meanin' of captivity.

They'll get those draggin'' days all right,
 Spent as a foreigner commands,
An' 'orrors of the locked-up night,
 With 'Ell's own thinkin'' on their 'ands.
 I'd give the gold o' twenty Rands
 (If it was mine) to set 'em free
 For I 'ave learned at Waterval
 The meanin' of captivity!
