Figurative Language   I Sing the Battle                                                             By Harry Kemp   I SING the song of the great clean guns that belch forth death at will. "Ah, but the wailing mothers, the lifeless forms and still!"   I sing the song of the billowing flags, the bugles that cry before. "Ah, but the skeletons flapping rags, the lips that speak no more!"   I sing the clash of bayonets, of sabres that flash and cleave. "And wilt thou sing the maimed ones, too, that go with pinnedup sleeve?"   I sing acclaimed generals that bring the victory home. "Ah, but the broken bodies that drip like honey-comb!"   I sing of hosts triumphant, long ranks of marching men. "And wilt thou sing the shadowy hosts that never march again?"

 

Review Questions

 

Directions: Respond to these questions to the best of your ability.  Answer the questions completely.  If you need more space, use the back or a separate sheet.

 

1.  Identify two examples of personification: explain what is being personified how.

 

Guns are given the ability to belch.

Bugles are given the ability to cry.

 

2.  Identify an example of simile: explain which two things are being compared.

 

Broken bodies are compared to honey-comb using the word "like"

 

3.  Identify an example of metaphor: explain which two things are being compared.

 

The guns are described as belching death. In this case bullets are compared to death without using the word "like" or "as."

 

4.  Find an example of alliteration.  List the alliterative words.

 

sing song

great guns

broken bodies

marching men

sing shadowy (not really alliterative but I'd give students credit for the response)

 

5.  Why is every other line contained in quotation marks?  What is the effect of this technique?

 

Every other line is in quotation marks because there are two speakers in the poem. The two voices are having a dialogue. The first voice boasts of the grandeur and glory of war. The second voice counters each boast made by the first voice with the opposing horrors of war.

 

6.  In the third stanza of the poem, the speaker references "pinnedup sleeves": why would someone pin their sleeves?  To what is the speaker referring and how do you know? Use evidence from the text.

 

Someone might pin-up their sleeve if they lost an arm. The speaker is referring to soliders who have lost limbs. I know this because of the word "maimed" and the references to bayonents and sabres in the preceeding line.

 

7.  What is the mood of this poem?  How does it make you feel and why does it make you feel this way?

 

This poem seems to express two moods. The first voice speaks highly of war, thus creating a glorious mood. The second voice reveals the terrors of war, which creates a somber or grim mood. Since the second voice gets the last word, and counters every point made by the first voice, the overall mood of the poem would be somber, grim, horrifying, or pacifying.

 

8.  What is the thematic message of this poem?  In other words, what lesson is the author attempting to express with this poem?  Explain your answer.
