Going to the wars...!
This poem was written by a solder who wrote it for his lover before he went off to war. It is about why he is leaving and where he is going. He is going off to war for honor, even though he loves this girl, he knows he needs to go. He wrote this poem to her, so he must really care about her. I can relate this poem to the war in Iraq today. People are enlisting into the service and leaving there loved ones at home to fight and die for them, just like this poet was. That is why i like this poem.

I agree with you about why he wrote this poem. He wrote this for his lover and he just wsnts to go to war to show his devotion for something that is important to you. I also love how you related this poem to the war in Iraq. How there are some people that wright letters to there loved ones and try and explain but it doesn't always work.
Ya i definetly see why he would write this poem to his wife. It's pretty shady if you ask me to just leave her like that in that manner by just telling her my true love now is for the war so, it kind of seems like she's blowing her off but a man has got to do what he does for his country. i pictured exactly what you wrote and see how you can relate to this poem.
