"Requiem" by Ivor Gurney

Pour out your light, O stars, and do not hold
Your loveliest shining from earth's outworn shell -
Pure and cold your radiance, pure and cold
My dead friend's face as well.

This is, alas, my farewell posting of WWI poems. Starting with Owen for the WOA in March 2020, then continuing daily for WPA, with Gurney, women poets, and a host of almost unknown poets, whose dedication to their country deserves recognition. Anyone else to take up the baton?

After Eton and Oxford, Edward de Stein, who wrote "Bingo our Trench Dog", rose to the rank of Major, serving on the Western Front for all WWI

“To a Skylark Behind Our Trenches”

Thou little voice! Thou happy sprite
How didst thou gain the air and light—
That sing'st so merrily?

“War and Peace”
by Edgell Rickword

In sodden trenches I have heard men speak,
Though numb and wretched, wise and witty things;
And loved them for the stubbornness that clings
Longest to laughter when Death's pulleys creak;

Rickword joined the Artist Rifles as soon as he became 18, in 1916, won the MC and wrote war poetry. In 1919 he lost an eye through septicaemia, then went up to Oxford, but left after four terms to get married.
