They sent him back to her. The letter came 
Saying... And she could have him. And before 
She could be sure there was no hidden ill 
Under the formal writing, he was in her sight, 
Living. They gave him back to her alive 
How else? They are not known to send the dead 
And not disfigured visibly. His face? 
His hands? She had to look, and ask, 
"What was it, dear?" And she had given all 
And still she had all they had they the lucky! 
Wasn't she glad now? Everything seemed won, 
And all the rest for them permissible ease. 
She had to ask, "What was it, dear?" 

"Enough," 
Yet not enough. A bullet through and through, 
High in the breast. Nothing but what good care 
And medicine and rest, and you a week, 
Can cure me of to go again." The same 
Grim giving to do over for them both. 
She dared no more than ask him with her eyes 
How was it with him for a second trial. 
And with his eyes he asked her not to ask. 
They had given him back to her, but not to keep. 

 
Ils l'ont envoyé de nouveau à elle. La lettre est venue disant… Et 
elle pourrait l'avoir. Et avant qu'elle pourrait être sûre qu'il n'y 
avait aucune défectuosité cachée sous l'écriture formelle, il 
était dans sa vue, vivant. Ils l'ont donné de nouveau à son vivant 
comment autrement ? Ils ne sont pas connus pour envoyer les morts et 
ne sont pas défigurés visiblement. Son visage ? Ses mains ? Elle a 
dû regarder, et demander, "ce qui était lui, cher?" Et elle avait 
donné tous et elle avait toujours tous qu'elles les ont eues le 
chanceux ! N'était-elle pas heureuse maintenant ? Tout a semblé 
gagné, et tout le repos pour eux facilité permise. Elle a dû 
demander, "ce qui était lui, cher?" 

"assez," Pourtant pas assez. Une balle à travers et à travers, haut 
dans le sein. Rien mais de quels bons soin et médecine et repos, et 
toi une semaine, peut me guérir pour aller encore." Même donner 
sinistre à faire plus de pour eux tous les deux. Elle n'a osé pas 
plus que lui demandent avec elle les yeux comment était elle avec lui 
pour une deuxième épreuve. Et avec ses yeux il lui a demandé de ne 
pas demander. Ils l'avaient donné de nouveau à elle, mais pour ne 
pas garder. 

 
Sie sendeten ihn zurück zu ihr. Der Buchstabe kam sagend… Und sie 
könnte ihn haben. Und bevor sie sicher sein könnte, daß es keinen 
versteckten Kranken unter dem formalen Schreiben gab, war er in ihrem 
Anblick und lebte. Sie gaben ihn zurück zu ihrem lebendigen wie 
sonst? Sie werden bekannt nicht, um die Toten zu senden und nicht 
sichtbar entstellt. Sein Gesicht? Seine Hände? Sie mußte schauen und 
bitten, "was es war, lieb?" Und sie hatte alle gegeben und noch hatte 
sie alle, die sie sie das glückliche hatten! Nicht war sie jetzt 
froh? Alles schien und der ganzer Rest für sie zulässige 
Mühelosigkeit gewonnen. Sie mußte bitten, "was es war, lieb?" 

"genug," Dennoch nicht genug. Eine Gewehrkugel durch und durch, stark 
in der Brust. Nichts aber, von welcher guter Obacht und von Medizin 
und Rest und von Ihnen eine Woche, kurieren kann mich, um wieder zu 
gehen." Das gleiche grimmige Geben, zum für sie beide rüber zu tun. 
Sie wagte nicht mehr als bitten ihn mit ihr um um Augen, wie sie mit 
ihm für einen zweiten Versuch war. Und mit seinen Augen bat er sie 
nicht zu bitten. Sie hatten ihn zurück zu ihr, aber nicht zu halten 
gegeben. 

 
Emitiram-lheo para trás. A letra veio dizendo… E poderia tê-lo. E 
antes que poderia ser certa que não havia nenhum mal escondido sob a 
escrita formal, estêve em sua vista, vivendo. Deram-no para trás ao 
seu vivo como mais? Não são sabidos para emitir os mortos e não 
disfigured visivelmente. Sua cara? Suas mãos? Teve que olhar, e 
pedir, "o que era ele, caro?" E tinha dado tudo e ainda teve tudo que 
o teve o afortunado! Não estava contente agora? Tudo pareceu ganhado, 
e todo o descanso para eles facilidade permissível. Teve que pedir, 
"o que era ele, caro?" 

"bastantes," Contudo não bastantes. Uma bala completamente e 
completamente, altamente no peito. Nada mas de que cuidado e medicina 
e descanso, e você bons uma semana, pode me curar para ir outra vez." 
Mesmo dar grim a fazer sobre para eles ambos. Não ousou não mais do 
que pedem lhe com ela os olhos como era com ele para uma segunda 
experimentação. E com seus olhos pediu que não pedisse. Tinham-lheo 
dado para trás, mas para não se manter. 

 
Lo enviaron de nuevo a ella. La letra vino diciendo… Y ella podría 
tenerlo. Y antes de que ella podría ser segura que no había 
enfermedad ocultada bajo escritura formal, él estaba en su vista, 
viviendo. ¿Lo dieron de nuevo a su vivo cómo ? No se saben para 
enviar a los muertos y no se desfiguran visiblemente. ¿Su cara? ¿Sus 
manos? Ella tuvo que mirar, y pedir, "cuál era él, querido?" ¡Y ella 
había dado todos y todavía ella tenía todos lo que los tenían el 
afortunado! ¿No estaba ella alegre ahora? Todo se parecía ganado, y 
todo el resto para ellos facilidad permitida. Ella tuvo que pedir, 
"cuál era él, querido?" 

"bastantes," Con todo no bastantes. Una bala a través y a través, 
arriba en el pecho. Nada pero qué buenos cuidado y medicina y resto, 
y usted una semana, puede curarme para ir otra vez." El mismo dar 
severo a hacer encima para ellos ambos. Ella no se atrevió no más 
que le con ella ojos cómo era con él para un segundo ensayo. Y con 
sus ojos él pidió que ella no pidiera. Lo habían dado de nuevo a 
ella, pero no guardar.
