A Spring Harvest
Produced by Andrew Dunning
"A Spring Harvest" by Geoffrey Bache Smith is a collection of poems written during the early 20th century, specifically in the context of World War I. This compilation reflects the poignant emotions and experiences of the poet, who served as a Lieutenant in the Lancashire Fusiliers and tragically died in battle. The likely topic of the book revolves around themes of war, memory, and the passage of time, interwoven with reflections on nature and human experiences. The collection is divided into sections that include early works and poems written during the war. It showcases Smith's lyrical ability, with a focus on both personal and collective grief, as well as a yearning for peace amid turmoil. Through vivid imagery and classical references, the poems convey a deep sense of nostalgia for lost innocence and the beauty of life disrupted by war. Pieces like "Wind over the Sea" and "The Burial of Sophocles" highlight the intersection of human emotions, love, and the inevitable cycle of life and death, ultimately culminating in a message that resonates with hope and reconciliation despite the backdrop of conflict.
