I love that poem too FMF.

It's beautiful and brilliantly written because it merges the two sonnet forms. Sorry, my A level English lit knowledge is taking over

In Memory of my late Hubby who served in VietNam with 82nd Airborn. And a BIG THANK YOU to all Veterans and those that are still serving!!!!

Oh I love that poem by John McCrae! I am also a great fan of Rupert Brooke -
If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.

And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
