Poems by Siegfried Sassoon
The General
... . . . . But he did for them both by his plan of attack ...
Absolution
... From life we longed to share no less than others ...
In Me, Past, Present, Future meet
... Look in my heart, kind friends, and tremble, ...
Survivors
... their cowed Subjection to the ghosts of friends who died, ...
The Rear-Guard
... " No reply. "God blast your neck!" (For days he'd had no sleep ...
I Stood With the Dead
... And my slow heart said, 'You must kill, you must kill: ...
A Whispered Tale
... Id heard fool-heroes brag of where theyd been, ...
Everyone Sang
... As prisoned birds must find in freedom, ...
The Fathers

How to Die
... But theyve been taught the way to do it ...
The One-Legged Man
... How right it seemed that he should reach the span ...
Reconciliation
... Remember, through your hearts rekindling pride, ...
A Poplar and the Moon
... But May, with slumbrous nights, must pass ...
The Poet as Hero
... You've heard me, scornful, harsh, and discontented, ...
Butterflies
... Frail Travellers, deftly flickering over the flowers ...
