A Poem for Remembrance Day

[intertext]

Many on my flist are posting Wilfred Owen, or Siegried Sassoon, and those poems are vivid and harsh and awesome, in the fullest sense of the word. I had my 150 students read "Dulce et Decorum Est" yesterday, and it was wonderful. But as I was thinking about what to post, I remembered this one, which is not as in your face as some of the WW1 poems

Wow! I've loved that poem ever since I ran across it in a random high school English textbook that my father incomprehensibly had lying around our house. Nice to run across it here :).
