Here They Lie Poem by Robert Graves

Life and death! ! ! Muse of mankind, Here they lie! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

" truth never can die" the epitaph said this that here they lie silently for long time but their true deeds still awake them in every living heart

The heroic men died of their own free will, even though they had been taught by fear and punishment. 'They were true men, they had pride'. It makes you proud to stand up and be a man.

Dead, but by free will they died: They were true men, they had pride. true men, not afraid of death. tony

A grateful homage to those who laid down their lives for the sake of their Motherland. Sentiments expressed with brevity.

Great poet do not need so many words to make a deep impact, and this quatrain demonstrates this fact. and triumphant, truth always pretty lies, It lives long, never dies. Lovely, an uplifting piece.

WOW! So short yet so powerfully presented. A fact in life, but a sad poem with great melancholy. Who once learned died, all learned things taken with them into their graves. They had not been killed, but they died by free will, and never forget they were true men, they had pride. Absolute The Modern Poem Of The Day. CONGRATULATIONS to the family of the late Robert Graves. The title reminds me of dead soldiers.
