(Soldier poet, died April 1915, aged 27) <br /> <br /> <br />He lies silent <br />No more to know <br />Cream teas shared on manicured lawns <br />Flirting young women <br />Creating rich flow of poetic imagery. <br /> <br />That rich dust which England shaped <br />Made aware, her peoples pride <br />Dwells grave deep <br />Far from beloved country's shores <br />Under cold marble slab on the Isle of Skyros.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/death-of-rupert-brooke/
