READING & RESOURCES

1. Poems: ** Perhaps (To R.A.L.) by Vera Brittain written in 1920 ** Perhaps some day the sun will shine again, And I shall see that still the skies are blue, And feel once more I do not live in vain, Although bereft of You.

Perhaps the golden meadows at my feet 5 Will make the sunny hours of spring seem gay, And I shall find the white May-blossoms sweet, Though You have passed away.

Perhaps the summer woods will shimmer bright, And crimson roses once again be fair, 10 And autumn harvest fields a rich delight, Although You are not there.

Perhaps some day I shall not shrink in pain To see the passing of the dying year, And listen to Christmas songs again, 15 Although You cannot hear.'

But though kind Time may many joys renew, There is one greatest joy I shall not know Again, because my heart for loss of You Was broken, long ago. 20 ** The Call **** by Jessie Pope 1868-1941 ** Who’s for the trench— Are you, my laddie? Who’ll follow French— Will you, my laddie? Who’s fretting to begin, 5 Who’s going out to win? And who wants to save his skin— Do you, my laddie?Who’s for the khaki suit— Are you, my laddie? Who longs to charge and shoot— 10 Do you, my laddie? Who’s keen on getting fit, Who means to show his grit, And who’d rather wait a bit— Would you, my laddie? 15 Who’ll earn the Empire’s thanks— Will you, my laddie? Who’ll swell the victor’s ranks— Will you, my laddie? When that procession comes, 20 Banners and rolling drums— Who’ll stand and bite his thumbs— Will you, my laddie?
