Poem by Isaac Rosenberg

* * *

If you are fire and I am fire,
Who blows the flame apart
So that desire eludes desire
Around one central heart?

A single root and separate bough,
And what blind hands between
That make our longing's mutual glow
As if it had not been? 

1. The Dying Soldier
2. The Dead Heroes
3. Soldier: Twentieth Century
4. The Song of Tel the Nubian
5. Returning, We Hear the Larks
