THE DEAD HEROES, by ISAAC ROSENBERG Poet Analysis Poet's Biography First Line: Flame out, you glorious skies Last Line: And claim god's kiss. Subject(s): Consolation; Soldiers' Writings | |||
Flame out, you glorious skies, Welcome our brave; Kiss their exultant eyes; Give what they gave. Flash, mailed seraphim, Your burning spears; New days to outflame their dim Heroic years. Thrills their baptismal tread The bright proud air; The embattled plumes outspread Burn upwards there. Flame out? flame out, O Song! Star ring to star; Strong as our hurt is strong Our children are. Their blood is England's heart; By their dead hands It is their noble part That England stands. England -- Time gave them thee; They gave back this To win Eternity And claim God's kiss. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...DON JUAN'S SONG by ISAAC ROSENBERG HEART'S FIRST WORD (2) by ISAAC ROSENBERG IN PICCADILLY by ISAAC ROSENBERG IN THE UNDERWORLD by ISAAC ROSENBERG NIGHT AND DAY: 1.
