SOLDIER'S DREAM	SOGNO DEL SOLDATO

I dreamed kind Jesus fouled the big-gun gears;	Sognai che il buon Gesù aveva sabotato gli ingranaggi dei grossi pezzi d’artiglieria
And caused a permanent stoppage in all bolts;	e inceppato in modo irreparabile tutti gli otturatori.
And buckled with a smile Mausers and Colts;	Con un sorriso, aveva deformato le Mauser e le Colt
And rusted every bayonet with His tears.	e arrugginito con le lacrime tutte le baionette.

And there were no more bombs, of ours or Theirs,	E non c’erano più bombe, né nostre, né loro
Not even an old flint-lock, not even a pikel.	neppure un vecchio acciarino o una forca.
But God was vexed, and gave all power to Michael;	Ma Dio, seccato, dette pieni poteri a Michele
And when I woke he'd seen to our repairs.	che, al mio risveglio, aveva riparato tutto.
