Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Youth and War Invocation Spirit of Liberty, my soul inspire! Strike with immortal fire the songs I bring, The firstlings of my heart, each lovely thing, Sorrow and courage, laughter and desire! So when my bones are white upon the pyre Still on the lips of strangers shall I sing, While lovers in the summer lingering Whisper the melodies of my dead lyre. Or in the tide of battle come and flow Divinely through my blood: make of each breath A prayer, of every act a sacrament; - Fill me with one desire, that I may go Stedfast through failure, smiling into death ... Poet or soldier Thine, - and so, content. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Song of Youth: Poems As in sweet childhood's slumberous hours a hand In mother's tenderness seeks for the cheek Of the loved one, gently disturbing sleep Until the child soul stirs and leaves the land Of dreams and wakens, half afraid to speak, So was I for long years within a deep And solemn slumber of the soul, until My heart heard thee approach, and then thy hand Waked me from dreams to Love's Reality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Songs of Love and War "He gave his life that his country might live. One winter morn I saw a rose, A white rose blooming in the snow. As pale as death by a grave it grows. With a fragrance sweeter than earthly rose That white rose blows in the glistening snow. As fair it blooms as it bloomed of yore On a winter morn long, long ago, When the land had rest from a cruel war, And the soldier's friends this tribute bore To him who lay in the grave below. Methinks that once that rose was red, Before it bloomed above the dead, A new-blown rich-red jacqueminot, Symbol of the abundant life That through the soldier's veins did flow. But that was many years ago; And he who plucked the rose so red And turned it white above the dead, The cunning hand that carved the rose Laid down the chisel long ago. Nor do I think it was in grief That skilful hand turned petals white, And changed to marble each green leaf, And carved a bud beside the rose - His was the seer's inner light.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from War Songs As the Valkyrie ride exultant up northern skies to Valhalla, bearing fallen heroes home, spurning fear, pain, and death beneath the hoof-strokes of their galloping horses, the President of the Peace Conference reclines in his opera-box - and yawns. The triumphant rush through the air; the clash of sword and hollow reverberating clang of brazen buckler, the storm and wild joy of battle are in his ears - but he hears not. The sounds are not for him, nor are the shadows that take form and gather fast to the summons of that wild music. Not for him is the phantasmagoria of spectral squadrons wheeling and charging with flashing sabres and fluttering red lunghis across the stony plain until they plunge headlong into that cloud of dust and smoke which closes like a curtain behind them. Not for him does the forlorn hope crouch behind the rocky outcrop of the hill, they and their boyish leader with the haunting eyes. Upon their stern faces the cold grey light of early dawn grows momentarily stronger - now, by Heaven, is the time!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American War Ballads and Lyrics, Vol. 1: A Collection of the Songs and Ballads of the Colonial Wars, the Revolution, the War of 1812-15, the War With Mexico, and the Civil War The complex nature of the considerations that must determine the choice of poems for inclusion is but one of several difficulties encountered in the execution of such a task as this. In any event, many things must be omitted which merit insertion, and the reader who misses a favorite piece is prompt to point to others which seem to him less worthy, and to ask why these were not made to give place to the one omitted. There are three answers to be made to the challenge of such a reader first, that his judgment in the matter may be wrong second, that the editor, being human, may have erred in his choice; and third, that in a collection intended to be broadly representative rather than complete, preference must sometimes be given to the less worthy piece which happens to reflect some phase of sentiment not otherwise presented, even at the cost of sacrificing the worthier one which illustrates aspects otherwise sufficiently Shown. So much by way of explanation, not of apology for if a book be in need of apology, no apology can be sufficient for it.

Download or read book Contingent Ditties and Other Soldier Songs of the Great War Classic Reprint written by Frank S. Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contingent Ditties, and Other Soldier Songs of the Great War In January last of the present year Sergeant Frank Brown called at my office in Covent Garden with a packet of poems under his arm. His name was not unknown to me, owing to the fact that he had submitted some of his work to the literary critic of the above paper, who had in turn drawn my attention to it. Brown had come to England with the first Canadian Contingent, holding the position of Sergeant in the Third Company of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. At the time of our correspondence his regiment had proceeded to France, but the soldier-poet, much to his disgust, had been left behind, temporarily unfit through an influenza attack. His first letters to me were written from Lark Hill Hospital, Salisbury Plain. Fair, slight but sturdy, keen-eyed, self-con fident but unassuming; such is my impression of the young soldier who came into my room on that grey January morning. He was the type of the British soldier: healthy, cheerful, untroubled by mental subtlety or overweening ambition, but willing to square brain and brawn with the general effort towards the attainment of an end known to be righteous and certain. All this was evident from the external view, but the intimacy of conversation revealed exceptional characteristics. It was evident that Sergeant Brown resembled the admirable average type of British soldier only by an effort of the will, born, probably, of an equally British and equally admirable objection to being thought remark able.
