The Soldier Summary

‘The Soldier’ is a very beautiful sonnet composed by Rupert Brooke. This sonnet is full of patriotism. The poet describes the feelings of an English Soldier who goes to a foreign country to fight for his own country. They feels that if he die in battle, the piece of foreign land where he will be buried will forever belong to England. He considers the piece of foreign land to be England because he was born and brought up in England. He also expresses his sense of gratitude of his country for everything he got there the flowers, the air he breathes, the laughter that he has learnt from friends. Finally this is an awesome poem by Rupert Brooke where he shows the poet’s great love for his mother land.
