EZine Poems for the People - Poems by the People Alan Seeger Seeger was born in New York to parents from old New England families. Seeger's family lived on Staten Island for ten years of his life before moving to Mexico in 1900. He lived in Mexico at an impressionable age and this had a decisive impact on his poetry. At age fourteen he returned to New York for education at the Hackley School in Tarrytown. He then went to Harvard College in 1906. He became one of the editors of Harvard Monthly and contributed verse regularly. From 1910 to 1912 he lived aimlessly in New York before moving to Paris. He became very fond of Paris and, just after the outbreak of the World War One, he enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. He served in the trenches on the western front and enjoyed the time on sentry duty for quiet contemplation. During the Battle of the Somme he was severely wounded when advancing on the German lines. He died shortly afterwards and was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre and the Medaille Militaire.

But I've a rendezvous with Death At midnight in some flaming town, When Spring trips north again this year, And to my pledged word am true, I shall not fail that rendezvous.

World War I The Poets and Their Works It seems that many of the soldiers of World War I became distinguished poets, in both life and death. Their works inspired patriotism. Perhaps this is because of the truth that is shown in their poems. In their words you can see the sadness, the cruelty, and the death that haunted them. Rupert Brooke (1887 - 1915) wrote “The War Sonnets”, they show an enthusiasm that is normally lost by most poets. The Dead These hearts were woven of human joys and cares, Washed marvellously with sorrow, swift to mirth. The years had given them kindness. Dawn was theirs, And sunset, and the colours of the earth. These had seen movement, and heard music; known Slumber and waking; loved; gone proudly friended; Felt the quick stir of wonder; sat alone; Touched flowers and furs and cheeks. All this is ended. There are waters blown by changing winds to laughter And lit by the rich skies, all day. And after, Frost, with a gesture, stays the waves that dance And wandering loveliness. He leaves a white

~ The Gift Outright ~ The land was ours before we were the land's. She was our land more than a hundred years Before we were her people. She was ours In Massachusetts, in Virginia. But we were England's, still colonials, Possessing what we still were unpossessed by, Possessed by what we now no more possessed. Something we were withholding made us weak. Until we found out that it was ourselves We were withholding from our land of living, And forthwith found salvation in surrender. Such as we were we gave ourselves outright (The deed of gift was many deeds of war) To the land vaguely realizing westward, But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced, Such as she was, such as she would become. ~ Robert Frost ; 1874-1963 ~ ~ In Flanders Fields ~ In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie

SEEGER Alan Seeger, poète américain, tué en Champagne pendant la première guerre mondiale dans la Légion étrangère, 1888-1916; Champagne, écrit en Champagne en juillet 1915, est considéré comme son chef-d'oeuvre. Champagne (1914-7975) I        In the glad revels, in the happy fêtes, When cheeks are flushed, and filasses gilt and pearled With the sweet wine of France that concentrates The sunshine and the beauty of the world, II       Drink sometimes, you whose footsteps yet may tread The undisturbed, delightful paths of Earth, To those bloose blond, in pious day shed, Hallows the soil zvhere that same wine had birth. I           Dans les joyeuses fêtes, dans les réunions heureuses, Quand les joues sont colorées et les verres dorés et perlés Avec le doux vin de France qui concentre Les rayons du soleil et la beauté du monde, II          Buvez quelquefois, vous dont les pas peuvent encore fouler Les calmes, délicieux chemins de la T'erre
