AN OLD FRENCH POET, by SIEGFRIED SASSOON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: When in your sober mood my body have ye laid Last Line: Or wheresoever, following death, my feet have strayed. Subject(s): Poetry & Poets; Soldiers' Writings | ||||||||
WHEN in your sober mood my body have ye laid In sight and sound of things beloved, woodland and stream, And the green turf has hidden the poor bones ye deem No more a close companion with those rhymes we made; Then, if some bird should pipe, or breezes stir the glade, Thinking them for the while my voice, so let them seem A fading message from the misty shores of dream, Or wheresoever, following Death, my feet have strayed. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A WORKING PARTY by SIEGFRIED SASSOON AFTERMATH by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BASE DETAILS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON BLIGHTERS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON COUNTER-ATTACK by SIEGFRIED SASSOON EVERYONE SANG by SIEGFRIED SASSOON FALLING ASLEEP by SIEGFRIED SASSOON |
