    Futility ~ Wilfred Owen Move him into the sun -
Gently its touch awoke him once‚
At home‚ whispering of fields unsown.
Always it woke him‚ even in France‚
Until this morning and this snow.
If anything might rouse him now

Full-nerved - still warm - too hard to stir?
Was it for this the clay grew tall?
- O what made fatuous sunbeams toil
to break earth’s sleep
