Beautiful, melancholy, touching poems of the deep sorrow of war, yet understanding it's oft unavoidable necessity.

I think poetry is just not my genre. I made it through this book twice and mildly enjoyed it, but didn’t love it the way I see many others did (based on the reviews on here). The poems were thought-provoking and lovely.

Amid earth's vagrant noises, he caught the note sublime:
To-day around him surges from the silences of Time
A flood of nobler music, like a river deep and broad,
Fit song for heroes gathered in the banquet-hall of God.

This is a poem which is written in the narrative of a Soldier who battled during World War One, it covers the pain, loss and misfortune soldiers experienced. This poem is still used to teach children about the war. The language used within the poem immediately builds an image within the reader's mind. The poem has inspired several young writers when writing their poems.

A captain in the Canadian army was at Flanders Fields (in France) attending a funeral of a fallen soldier(World War 1). He saw all the graves and poppies and got inspired to write this poem. In Canada we have Remembrance Day (Nov. 11) where Canadian wear poppies in remembrance of all of the fallen soldiers.

Rather dark and morbid at times. It presents war as it is, with no glamour or romanticism.
