Poetry Month: Leo Marks's Code Poem for the French Resistance
10 April 2015
I'll admit it. I'm a sucker for love poems (even when they're disguised as code poems). Who isn't, really?
So today's entry is Leo Marks's Code Poem for the French Resistance:
The life that I have
Is all that I have
And the life that I have
Is yours.
The love that I have
Of the life that I have
Is yours and yours and yours.
A sleep I shall have
A rest I shall have
Yet death will be but a pause
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
But you haven't really lived until you've heard British actor Richard Armitage read it.
