Quotations
Rupert Brooke was an English poet.
Sourced
- We are earth’s best,
that learnt her lesson here,
Life is our cry.
We have kept the faith!
And when we die,
All’s over that is ours;
and life burns on
Through other lovers, other lips,
Heart of my heart,
heaven is now, is won!
- And in my flower-beds,
I think,
Smile the carnation
and the pink.
- "The Old Vicarage; Granchester" (1912)
- If I should die think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England.
