........Barbed wire enclosed an arbitrary spot
Where bored officials lounged (one cracked a joke)
And sentries sweated for the day was hot:
A crowd of ordinary decent folk
Watched from without and neither moved nor spoke
As three pale figures were led forth and bound
To three posts driven upright in the ground.....

And sentries sweated for the day was hot:

Watched from without and neither moved nor spoke

To three posts driven upright in the ground.....
