I SAW HIS ROUND MOUTH'S CRIMSON - Wilfred Owen I saw his round mouth's crimson deepen as it fell, Like a sun in his last deep hour; Watched the magnificent recession of farewell, Clouding, half gleam, half glower, And a last splendour burn the heavens of his cheek. And in his eyes The cold stars lighting, very old and bleak, In different skies.
