HILL-BORN by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON

Poet Analysis

First Line: I SOMETIMES WONDER IF IT'S REALLY TRUE
Last Line: ON THE GREEN RIDGES OF THE WINDY GILE.
Subject(s): WORLD WAR I; FIRST WORLD WAR;
I sometimes wonder if it's really true
I ever knew
Another life
Than this unending strife
With unseen enemies in lowland mud,
And wonder if my blood
Thrilled ever to the tune
Of clean winds blowing through an April noon
Mile after sunny mile
On the green ridges of the Windy Gile.
