THE SOLDIER

If I should die, think only this of me
That there’s some corner of a foreign field. That is forever 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 England’s air
Washed by the river, 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.

Rupert Brooke (1887-1915)
