BEFORE ACTION, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography
First Line: I sit beside the brazier's glow
Last Line: Nor any cold or heat.

First Line: I sit beside the brazier's glow
Last Line: Nor any cold or heat.
Subject(s): World War I; First World War
I sit beside the brazier's glow,
And, drowsing in the heat,
I dream of daffodils that blow
And lambs that frisk and bleat --
Black lambs that frolic in the snow
Among the daffodils,
In a far orchard that I know
Beneath the Malvern hills.
Next year the daffodils will blow,
And lambs will frisk and bleat;
But I'll not feel the brazier's glow,
Nor any cold or heat.
