The unexplained glory flies above them,
Great is the battle-god, and his kingdom—
A field where a thousand corpses lie.
Do not weep, babe, for war is kind.
Because your father tumbled in the yellow trenches
Raged at his breast, gulped and died,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
Swift-blazing flag of the regiment,
Eagle with crest of red and gold,
These men were born to drill and die.
Point for them the virtue of slaughter,
Make plain to them the excellence of killing,
And a field where a thousand corpses lie.
Mother whose heart hung humble as a button
On the bright splendid shroud of your son,
Do not weep.
War is kind.
1. To whom is the author speaking? List the three specific groups he addresses.
2. Does he really mean that war is good? Explain how he contradicts himself.
3. Would you say that Stephen Crane is pro-war or anti-war? Why?
4. What line or lines speak to you most clearly?
5. Who do you think says, “War is kind?”
Now compare Crane’s poem to:
BEAT! BEAT! DRUMS!
By Walt Whitman
Beat! beat! drums!—blow! bugles! blow!
Through the windows—through doors—burst like a ruthless force,
Into the solemn church, and scatter the congregation,
Into the school where the scholar is studying;
Leave not the bridegroom quiet—no happiness must he have now with his bride,
Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, plo
