We always had to do our work at night. <br />I wondered why we had to be so sly. <br />I wondered why we couldn't have our fight <br />Under the open sky. <br /> <br />I wondered why I always felt so cold. <br />I wondered why the orders seemed so slow, <br />So slow to come, so whisperingly told, <br />So whisperingly low. <br /> <br />I wondered if my packing-straps were tight, <br />And wondered why I wondered……Sound <br />went wild……… <br />and order came…… I ran into the night, <br />wondering why I smiled.<br /><br />Leon Gellert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/before-action/
