A Soldier by Robert Frost



This poem was the only one I read twice. The first time I read too superficially and didn't grasp the story. Frost is using a lance as a metaphor for a fallen soldier. This poem is actually pretty powerful and I rate it a nine out of ten. The ending subtly implies the great power of God and I found that very interesting how well he put that in there.
