No one cares less than I

[BUGLE CALL] by EDWARD THOMAS 'No one cares less than I, Nobody knows but God Whether I am destined to lie Under a foreign clod' Were the words I made to the bugle call in the morning. But laughing, storming, scorning, Only the bugles know What the bugles say in the morning, And they do not care, when they blow The call that I heard and made words to early this morning.
