“Choriambics- I” --by Rupert Brooke (1887-1915) in December, 1908 “The Collected Poems of Rupert Brooke: With a Memoir,” Sidgwick & Jackson, Ltd., London, 1926; pages 115-16.
My late husband was fond of Rupert Brooke’s poetry, which he would often read to me. This poem had special resonance for us in foreshadowing his death---- as in the last half of the poem. Two of his children read this at his funeral.
