 Explanation
The poet considers himself to
ever be a fighter so for one
more fight of the best and the
last. He definitely hates the
fact that death would bandage
his eyes and bade him creep
past. Yet he dares to taste the
whole of death fare like his
peers and the heroes of old.
 He prefers to bear the brunt in a
minute pay glad life’s arrears of
pain darkness and cold. For
sudden, the worst turns the best
to the brave, the black minutes at
end and the elements rage. The
fiend voices that rave shall
dwindle, shall blend, shall charge
and shall become first a peace
out of pain.
 conclusion
 Ryals argues that while the
majority of the poems may
concern national loyalties, the
poems also explore other kinds of
loyalties, including loyalty to
one's self, to one's religion, and
to one's beloved.
