    The Soldier - Poem by Rupert Brooke If I should die‚ think only this of me: 
That there’s some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore‚ shaped‚ made aware‚
Gave‚ once‚ her flowers to love‚ her ways to roam‚
A body of England’s‚ breathing English air‚
Washed by the rivers‚ blest by suns of home. And think‚ this heart‚ all evil shed away‚
A pulse in the eternal mind‚ no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts
