The first separate edition, issued five months after his collection '1914 and Other Poems', from which these poems are taken. 12mo. Eight unpaginated leaves including one sheet of advertisements. Sewn lettered wrappers, the upper wrapper exhibiting some unsightly discolouration, and also a touch of very light spotting and a little creasing to the yapped fore edge.

A nice bright copy, particularly crisp internally, but lacking the original mailing envelope. Brooke's third appearance in print, the sonnets here being 'Peace', 'Safety', 'The Dead' ["Blow out, you bugles"], 'The Dead' ["These hearts were woven"] and 'The Soldier'. 20,000 copies were printed.
