Rupert Brooke

• We are earth’s best,
  that learnt her lesson here,
  Life is our cry.
  We have kept the faith!
  And when we die,
  All’s over that is ours;
  and life burns on
  Through other lovers, other lips,
  Heart of my heart,
  heaven is now, is won!

• And in my flower-beds,
  I think,
  Smile the carnation
  and the pink.
  • "The Old Vicarage; Granchester" (1912)

• If I should die think only this of me:
  That there's some corner of a foreign field
  That is for ever England.
  • "The Soldier" (1914)
