The Soldier
If I should die, think only this of me: A
That there’s some corner of a foreign field B
That is for ever England. There shall be A
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed; B
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware, C All of this is part of the poem is
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam, D about that u Had something
A body of England’s, breathing English air, C
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home. D
And think, this heart, all evil shed away, E
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less. F
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given; G This part is about that you
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day; E Become something
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness, F
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven. G
