Poems

When I was a sophomore in high school, we had to memorize and recite a poem in English class.  Of course I chose one by Longfellow.  It was entitled "The Builders".
.  A classmate chose "I Have A Rendezvous With Death" by Alan
Seeger.  I thought, oh why did she chose that one.  I've read that poem several
times since then and I feel differently about it.  We all have a rendezvous
with death and none shall fail that rendezvous.
