Anthology ANZAC Within my lovingness I mind the cry Of loves that suffer, souls that die, And you may have no panegyric from me For warfares vast vulgarity Only the flag of love, unfurled For ease above a weeping world, I follow, though the fiery hint Of murder shrivel me in death. Yet here I support and bow my head To those whom other banners led, Beca physical exercise within their hearts the clang Of independences summoning trumpets rang, Because they welcomed grisly pain And laughed at prudence, mocked at gain, With noble hope and courage high, And taught our manhood how to die.Praise, praise and love be theirs who came From that red hell of stench and flame, Staggering, bloody, sick, but still Strong with fixed will, Happy because, in gloomiest night, Their own hearts drummed them to the fight. I chose the poem ANZAC because of its descriptive language, truth, and its use of the harsh reality of war, while not glorifying war in any way. The Poet uses a mixture of descriptive text, rime words and rhythm to disp drop his views on World War 1. His use of scary and uncomfortable words really reflect this message that war is a sick and gruesome place.toby jug Hey, toby jug, toby jug, Toby Dead? The curb is a flood That fuddleds, choking, overhead, And chills the living blood. The leaping friend, whose jolly bark Was greeting every night, No more to thrill the summer dark With welcome of trance? Beside his grave I bend the knee, And O, my eyes are dim. He catch for the dog in me I found the man in him. Swags Up Swags up and yet I turn upon the way. The yellow hill against a dapple sky, With tufts and clumps of thorn, the bush whereby All through the wonder-pregnant night I lay Until the silver stars were merged in greyOur fragrant camp, demand a portion sigh New tracks, new camps, and hearts for ever high, Yet drawing regret with every welcome day. Dear dreamy earth, receding quiver lamp, Dear dust wherein I found this night a h ome, cool off for a memorys sake I turn and cling, wherefore take the road for many a distant camp, Among what hills, by what crazy whispering foam, With eager faith for ever wandering. The Patriot The patriot from his walls of ecesis Is singing loudly as I pass With fearless heart and open eyes, He shouts the ancient battle cries And, where I pause to hear him sing, A silent crowd is listening.My earth, God bestows by thee The glory of the world to be The glory thou alone canst give To last amid things fugitive. My country, an standard form I see thee splendid in the storm, Directress of the power churchman That makes the expectant future thine. My country, all the world shall bow Before thy peace-conceiving brow, And all the peoples humbly stand Submissive to thy blessing hand. My country, yea, the foes who raise A autocrat flag shall learn to praise Thy steadfast love that dares to fight The server of Satan for the right. My country, loveliest, strongest, best, Thou hast a mission to the rest,And greater wealth and love shall be The guerdon of thy ministry. In every land I hear him sing In every land I see him fling His countrys flag against the skies And gaze aloft with dazzled eyes And indeed his loud applause rings roundAnalysis of Toby The poem Toby is a poem that was written about the death of Johns dog. the poem begins in the Poets point of view, calling out the dogs name, and finding him and realising he is dead. The use of descriptive and cold language engages the reader, and helps us to embrace the encounterings that the poet is trying to force upon us.The genius of the poem encourages readers to think spur on times that we may have lost a close or loved person, and the poem is both a metaphor and true. the arcminute paragraph of the poem is centered around the sinking in of the event that one of his closest companions was dead, and that there was now an emptiness in his heart, and silence in the family line. Tobys bark used to fill the house of noise when ever John came home from work, but now he is greeted by an empty house, and the memory of what a great companion Toby was. John uses language and emotions to make the readers feel a touch sad, and to leave our minds into his perspective.The third paragraph of the poem takes us on an emotional gyre coaster while John reminisces over what a good mate Toby was for him, his loyalty and how he was evermore there for John. The third paragraph ends with John coming back to reality, and remembering that Toby is no longer there to greet him after a long days work. The nature of the last sentence of the paragraph is almost distraught, and the readers can almost feel Johns pain through his clever use of descriptive and emotive text. The final paragraph is a sense of closure for the poem, poet and readers.John lays Toby to his final resting place, and realises that Toby was the greatest companion that he has had, and they spent their time together trying to find the s imilarities, even though John was a man, and Toby was a dog, and John definitely found the man in Toby, whilst Toby spent his time trying to find out how dog-like John really was. The poem ends with a sense of happiness, as the poet seems to admit to the damage of his friend, and closes with the fact that Toby really was a man, as he is caring, kind, and always there for his mates, no matter what is going on.Bibliography Poetrylibrary. edu. au Brereton, John Le Gay Poet Australian Poetry Library Poetrylibrary. edu. au (n. d. ) Brereton, John Le Gay Poet Australian Poetry Library. online Available at http//www. poetrylibrary. edu. au/poets/brereton-john-le-gay Accessed 24 Sep 2012.
