I remember it well. WWI was a terrible waste of young lives...over the top goes the "forlorn hope". A phrase from the Napolionic War.

Too many to note,but one of my favourites is Christina Rossetti:
When I am dead ,my dearest, Sing no sad songs for me; Plant thou no roses at my head, Nor shady cyprus tree; Be the green grass above me With showers and dewdrops wet; And if thou wilt, remember, And if thou wilt ,forget.
Very nice indeed!
Bit morbid, but it will be my epitaph.
Christina had quite at troubled life,her Christmas poem "In the Bleak Mid-Winter" is probably one you will know. If you would like further info . check this out; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christina_Rossetti Answer 6 out of 9 by Suby the Coat on Oct 8, 2009 at 5:50 am Permalink

I follow now. Same as I said in my first comment above Rudyard Kipling's two lines have often been taken out of context and several times people have called him a racist. If only they cared to read the remaining two lines they would have known how wrong they were. There is a saying 'little knowledge is a dangerous thing' - this saying applies here, Tel.
How true those words my friend and it causes people to go off "half cock" without taking into account the full story.
True, Tel.

Managed to capture the first verse:
There's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I'm too tough for him, I say, stay in there, I'm not going to let anybody see you. there's a bluebird in my heart that wants to get out but I pour whiskey on him and inhale cigarette smoke and the whores and the bartenders and the grocery clerks never know that he's in there. Sounds like a soul wanting freedom
Love it. I think you can find the complete poem on his website.
I found the complete poem,but it would not let me copy it all...
