Spring Harvest

Spring Harvest

by Geoffrey Bache Smith

This volume of poetry by Geoffrey Bache Smith was published posthumously by his close friend, J.R.R. Tolkien. The collection reflects Smith's experiences as a young soldier in World War I, and his deep connection to nature and love. The poems often grapple with themes of death, loss, and the fleeting nature of life, reflecting the tragic circumstances of Smith's early death in 1916. The collection is a poignant testament to a talented poet's life cut short by war, and a glimpse into the complex emotions and reflections of a young man facing the horrors of conflict.
