  [minstrels] The Soldier -- Rupert Brooke
This inevitably gives today's poem a slightly old-fashioned flavour - the poet is not, perhaps, glorifying war, but he certainly understands the motivations that would encourage young men to 'throw their lives away', and is not afraid of pronouncing them valid.
Links: Yeats' poem is at poem #32 Margaret Lavington's biography is too long to include, so I'll merely point to it: http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/7086/brookebionote.htm And Bob Blair has a nice writeup on one of Brooke's other poems, The Chilterns, a lot of which is relevant to The Soldier as well: http://www.geocities.com/~bblair/990803.htm
From: Jamie-lee I think that this poem convey deep emotional thoughts not of Brooke but of the family I believe that it was wrote for them incase that he died, it tells that no matter what he died for his country and that he is proud of it.
