THE REEK, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tonight they're sitting by the peat
Last Line: Across the belgian snow.


To-night they're sitting by the peat
Talking of me, I know --
Grandfather in the ingle-seat,
Mother and Meg and Joe.

I feel a sudden puff of heat
That sets my ears aglow,
And smell the reek of burning peat
Across the Belgian snow.
