When you go home
Tell them of us and say
For your tomorrow
We gave our today
IF I should die, think only this of me;
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is for ever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

No. But then the Bishop leading the service thinks that all the men who died in horrific ways are now having a jolly with God in heaven somewhere, so his thoughts don't really count either.
Great singer - it's really about the slaughter at Gallipoli but can equally be taken as any war. Stunning writer; I had the pleasure of seeing him in Devon on his last UK tour.
