The Soldier
by
Rupert Brooke
"The Soldier" is a poem by the English poet Rupert
Brooke, written in 1914 at the beginning of World War
I. It is a patriotic poem that expresses the author's
idealism and romanticism about war, as well as his
devotion to England.
The poem is written in the first person, as if the
speaker is a soldier who is about to die in battle. The
soldier declares that if he dies in a foreign land, his
body will become a part of that land, but his spirit will
remain English. He describes England as a holy place
that has given him everything he values in life,
including his religion, culture, and sense of duty.
The soldier goes on to say that he does not want
anyone to mourn for him when he dies, but rather to
remember him with pride and joy. He asks that his
memory be associated with the beauty and serenity of
England's countryside, and that his death be seen as a
sacrifice for a greater cause.
