COMRADES, by WILFRID WILSON GIBSON Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: As I was marching in flanders Last Line: "I'll bear you company." Subject(s): World War I; First World War | |||
As I was marching in Flanders A ghost kept step with me -- Kept step with me and chuckled And muttered ceaselessly: "Once I too marched in Flanders, The very spit of you, And just a hundred years since, To fall at Waterloo. "They buried me in Flanders Upon the field of blood, And long I've lain forgotten Deep in the Flemish mud. "But now you march in Flanders, The very spit of me; To the ending of the day's march I'll bear you company." | 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 |
