Gibson

 

Wilfrid Wilson Gibson
1878-1962

 
"Back"

(1918)

 

They ask me where I've been,
And what I've done and seen.
But what can I reply
Who know it wasn't I,
But someone just like me,
Who went across the sea
And with my head and hands
Killed men in foreign lands . . .
Though I must bear the blame
Because he bore my name.
