The poems of this book were written at very various times, one (“Wind over the Sea”) I believe even as early as 1910, but the order in which they are here given is not chronological beyond the fact that the third part contains only poems written after the outbreak of the war. Of these some were written in England (at Oxford in particular), some in Wales, and very many during a year in France from November 1915 to December 1916, which was broken by one leave in the middle of May.

“The Burial of Sophocles”, which is here placed at the end, was begun before the war and continued at odd times and in various circumstances afterwards; the final version was sent me from the trenches. Beyond these few facts no prelude and no envoi is needed other than those here printed as their author left them.

As a fan of JRR Tolkien I was drawn to this collection of poems as he had edited it. Knowing of Geoffrey Bache Smith from watching the Tolkien biography I expected the poems to reflect the themes of the age: the hopes of youth; young love; the power of the Arts; English mythology and ultimately the pain of loss and the ravages of war. All of these were present in the collection and the narration of the poems was done in an excellent evocative manner. Recommended.

A beautiful collection of moving poems.
