    Meanings of Poems by John McCrae
    I am doing an ISU on John McCrae. My question is does anyone have any insight on any of these poems, and what they could possibly represent, or mean. Is it literal or figurative? What is the mood? If anyone has any insight on this please let me know, the poems are listed below.

    The Oldest Drama
    The Night Cometh
    The Harvest of The Sea
    The Dying of Pere Pierre
    The Dead Master
    The Capitan
    The Anxious Dead
    Slumber Songs
    Recompense
    Quebec
    Penance
    Equality
    Mine Host
    In Due Season
    Eventide
    Disarmament
    A Song of Comfort

    Wouldn't it be good to read them first, and then answer the questions? The answers are obvious if one has read the poems.

    One has read the poems, many many times.. me and english do not get along.. I'm asking because I really do need help, not just because I'm lazy.. so if someone has some sort of insight that would be great.. if not please keep your comments to yourself.

    "not just because im lazy" lol

    Has one also Googled for help? Has one gone to the library for help?

    McCrae was a war poet. John McCrae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    I did my own homework all through school. You still have avenues to explore. The poems are short and easy to read. Best wishes at the library.
