Er dette for strengt? 11-11-11

I dropp'd here three weeks ago, yes ~ I know,

And it's bitter cold at night, since the fight

I could tell you if I chose ~ no one knows

Excep' me and four or five, what ain't alive

I can see them all asleep, three men deep,

And they're nowhere near a fire ~ but our wire

Has 'em fast as fast can be. Can't you see

When the flare goes up? Ssh! Boys; what's that noise?
