"1917" brought me here.

These are the first words I wrote in the comments of a YouTube video when I finally 

managed to find part of the first verse of the poem Schofield recited to the baby at night. 

was absolutely gobsmacked with the poem, his voice, the whole scene and the entire 

movie of course.

If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend it. I leave you with the entire original poem and 

the video link to the beautiful movie scene.

My recommendation when it comes to poems, sonnets, rhymes and limericks is to read 

them ALOUD in order to play with the intonation in your voice, the pacing of it and for the 

sake of the language in itself.
