Poems by Siegfried Sassoon
Banishment
... Love drives me back to grope with them through hell ...
Morning-Glory
... And green-smocked children, awed and good, ...
Before the Battle
... O river of stars and shadows, lead me through the night ...
Today
... How sweet it is to spend these eyes, and boast ...
Devotion to Duty
... ) This officer advanced with the first wave, And when our first objective had been gained, ...
Middle-Ages
... The moon; and the wind blew colder ...
Miracles
... ) And then great clouds gathered and burst in spumes of green ...
October
... Like mournful pennons hang their shrivelling leaves ...
Ancestors
... then a voice Climbs with clear mortal song half-sad for heaven ...
At Daybreak
... As once he lived in charm and grace: ...
Joy-Bells
... Whose tones are tuned for peace: with martial tongue ...
The Troops
... And through some mooned Valhalla there will pass ...
Fight to a Finish
... . . . . I heard the Yellow-Pressmen grunt and squeal ...
Song-Books of the War
... But the boys, with grin and sidelong glance, ...
Storm and Sunlight
... Haste, flashing brooks! Small, chuckling rills, rejoice! ...
