 The Hawthorn Tree by Siegfried Sassoon 
						Not much to me is yonder lane Where I go every day;
 But when there’s been a shower of rain
 And hedge-birds whistle gay,
 I know my lad that’s out in France
 With fearsome things to see
 Would give his eyes for just one glance
 At our white hawthorn tree.
 
 . . . .
 Not much to me is yonder lane
 Where he so longs to tread:
 But when there’s been a shower of rain
 I think I’ll never weep again
 Until I’ve heard he’s dead.
