SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 3, by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT Poet's Biography First Line: I met with death in his country Last Line: And he did not look at me. Alternate Author Name(s): Dunsany, Lord; Dunsany, 18th Baron Subject(s): Death; World War I; Dead, The; First World War | |||
I met with Death in his country, With his scythe and his hollow eye, Walking the roads of Belgium. I looked and he passed me by. Since he passed me by in Plug Street, In the wood of the evil name, I shall not now lie with the heroes, I shall not share their fame; I shall never be as they are, A name in the lands of the Free, Since I looked on Death in Flanders And he did not look at me. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...D'ANNUNZIO by ERNEST HEMINGWAY 1915: THE TRENCHES by CONRAD AIKEN TO OUR PRESIDENT by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE HORSES by KATHARINE LEE BATES CHILDREN OF THE WAR by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE U-BOAT CREWS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE RED CROSS NURSE by KATHARINE LEE BATES WAR PROFITS by KATHARINE LEE BATES THE UNCHANGEABLE by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 1 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT SONG FROM AN EVIL WOOD: 2 by EDWARD JOHN MORETON DRAX PLUNKETT A.E.
