Subject: RE: changing words of c fox smith poetry in songs
Given when she lived, the poem is clearly about WWI... but sadly, the sentiment fits far too many other conflicts as well. And that is where to power of the work comes from... it has meaning to people all over the world.
point taken,but behind a trench in flanders is much more powerful than overseas in india, whichever person changed it and [it was not sara morgan, who put a lovely tune to the words] they have diluted the meaning of the song [imo]
