Carentan O Carentan
by Louis Simpson
上海油压工作室 Trees in the old days used to stand
And shape a shady lane
Where lovers wandered hand in hand
Who came from Carentan．
This was the shining green canal
Where we came two by two
上海油压工作室 Walking at combat－interval．
Such trees we never knew．
上海油压工作室 The day was early June， the ground
Was soft and bright with dew．
Far away the guns did sound，
But here the sky was blue．
The sky was blue， but there a smoke
Hung still above the sea
上海油压工作室 Where the ships together spoke
上海油压工作室 To towns we could not see．
Could you have seen us through a glass
上海油压工作室 You would have said a walk
上海油压工作室 Of farmers out to turn the grass，
Each with his own hay－fork．
上海油压工作室 The watchers in their leopard suits
上海油压工作室 Waited till it was time，
And aimed between the belt and boot
上海油压工作室 And let the barrel climb．
上海油压工作室 I must lie down at once， there is
A hammer at my knee．
And call it death or cowardice，
上海油压工作室 Don't count again on me．
上海油压工作室 Everything's all right， Mother，
Everyone gets the same
At one time or another．
It's all in the game．
上海油压工作室 I never strolled， nor ever shall，
Down such a leafy lane．
上海油压工作室 I never drank in a canal，
Nor ever shall again．
There is a whistling in the leaves
And it is not the wind，
上海油压工作室 The twigs are falling from the knives
上海油压工作室 That cut men to the ground．
Tell me， Master－Sergeant，
The way to turn and shoot．
上海油压工作室 But the Sergeant's silent
That taught me how to do it．
上海油压工作室 O Captain， show us quickly
Our place upon the map．
But the Captain's sickly
And taking a long nap．
Lieutenant， what's my duty，
My place in the platoon?
上海油压工作室 He too's a sleeping beauty，
Charmed by that strange tune．
上海油压工作室 Carentan O Carentan
Before we met with you
We never yet had lost a man
上海油压工作室 Or known what death could do．
