war_poetryIn Memoriam (Easter, 1915)
The flowers left thick at nightfall in the wood
This Eastertide call into mind the men,
Now far from home, who, with their sweethearts, should
Have gathered them and will do never again.

(Edward Thomas was 37 when he enlisted in 1915 - married and with two children. He was killed the day after Easter, 1917.)
