the poem is really a good side of war. Brooke wants the reader to know that dying foe ones country is a patriotic thing to do.

I think it is an amazing poem. Rupert Brooke is telling the reader what life would be like after his death. He explains his after life as a place just like England at it's finest and all the bad and evil corruption in the land is not present. Memories are restored of old friends and family, dreams are lived out, the world in which he is discribing is simply beautiful. He tells the reader that when he dies do not worry and grieve and only think that he is in a better place and awaits for his friends and others to come join him one day.

well guys....
i think this poem is not typically like any other ww1 poem written by a soldier who actually fought in the war. other poets like owen or sassoon comment on the harsh realities and of horrible deaths. but brooke gives a much more pleasant view on the war. he is saying that it will be beautiful and honourable if he should die fighting for his country. i think he is saying that once he dies, he will be in heaven: "under an English heaven". he says that his after life will be just like in England at it's finest.brooke is expressing his pride at being english, and he is a man who dearly loves his counrty and has no objection to the decisions they make and only follows them. he is a soldier that supports the aspect of war, and if it means he is to die painfully; then be it so. a truly great poem which gives me yet another perspective on the feelings of soldiers in the Great War.
