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
