Excerpt from Why Don't They Cheer?: Poems
And thou, mine own, for whom my soul had feared, That in that day thy heart should shrink and crawl; Lest gain and getting, o'er endeared, Should leave thee fat and visionless withal: In peace thy vainer side was uppermost And seared with ends and aims of little worth; In war, thy sons from coast to coast Have made thy name a glory through the earth.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book by Robert J. C. Stead is a collection of the author's poems written in the early 20th century. It provides insights into the political climate before and during World War I as well as presenting a celebration of the culture and people of the Canadian Prairies. The author's poems reflect the patriotic sentiment common at the time, particularly in his poems dedicated to the British Empire and their support during the war. Alongside this, the book contains poignant poems exploring the lives and experiences of soldiers at the front as well as the impact of their sacrifice on those left behind at home. However, the book's main focus is on the author's love for his homeland and its vast, natural beauty. Throughout the work, Stead uses evocative imagery to invoke the endless skies, rolling hills, and changing seasons of the Canadian Prairies, giving readers a vivid impression of the landscape and its people's deep connection to it.
