I have read several versions of this poem, and this is my favorite. Every time I read these, I am reminded that these are eulogies for men who lived more than 1400 years ago, who fought for their land, and who all died trying to keep it. It's incredible to read, and when I think about it, incredibly sad. The fact that this set of poems has lasted in the world this long is at once mind-blowing and humbling.
