Robert Service's particular sense of the wild makes him stand out as a true North American poet. His fanciful tales of the rough-and-tumble Yukon have made him one of the most popular and frequently recited poets in the English-speaking world. Service's poems are perfect for sharing with children and friends, reading alone, or best of all, reciting around the campfire.
Dan McGrew, Sam McGee, and Other Great Service includes over fifty of Robert Service's best-loved poems, while Mark Summers' illustrations perfectly capture their mood.

The Ghosts of No Man's Land - The Rhymes of a Red Cross Man
by Robert W Service
from Diggory Press
Some wonderful, vivid poetry from the First World War. Excerpt from the poem 'The Mourners': I look across the aching womb of night; I look across the mist that masks the dead; The moon is tired and gives but little light, The stars have gone to bed. The earth is sick and seems to breathe with pain; A lost wind whimpers in a mangled tree; I do not see the foul, corpse-cluttered plain, The dead I do not see. The slain I would not see . . . and so I lift My eyes from out the shambles where they lie; When lo! a million woman-faces drift Like pale leaves through the sky. The cheeks of some are channelled deep with tears; But some are tearless, with wild eyes that stare Into the shadow of the coming years Of fathomless despair And some are young, and some are very old; And some are rich, some poor beyond belief; Yet all are strangely like, set in the mould Of everlasting grief.
