Beautiful verse. Well done.
One of our best actors.
The nascent Irish Republic was wrong and on the wrong side of history when it failed to join in the war against the Nazis. It preferred a neutrality that, at times, assisted the Nazis to kill more Irish people in Belfast and other parts of Ulster. So forgive us, Dunbar's callous moralising.
Not all Irishmen who fought for the UK disliked doing so or did not feel patriotism for the British Union. It would be best if you did not assume your feelings are shared by all Irishmen.
Very moving. Beautifully read. Such feeling
The coat was mostly a hand-me-down, anyway, as nothing is really new, apart from a few bits of embroidery or pattern of stitching!
I studied this poem in my 7 th standard. At that age it was not easy to comprehend the entire philosophy behind those verses. But yet ,it has stayed on. That is what poetry does, change lives inspite of personal circumstances.

John McCormack made a great recording of this poem put to music.
My favourite poem too, read beautifully and with wonderful timing and breath control. Loved it. ♥️
Wonderful rendition
My father was an Irishman. I live in England but my heart is in Ireland

Somber yet lovely at the same time.
Brilliant. Elaine makes the poem relevant.
Agh now. That's a bit good.
But I being poor have only my dream have only my dream I have spread my dreams under your feet Tread softly because you tread on my dreams .

Overacted. Just let the poem speak!
That was beautiful just like you don't let know one tread on your dreams ✨❤
Inspiring! Beautifully read! Yeats would be pleased.
Where you are now is in the shit.

" I balanced all, brought all to mind, the years to come seemed waste of breath, a waste of breath the years behind. In balance with this life, this death." I think that pretty much sums up why people inlist.
But what makes this different is that the speaker is Irish and fighting for the British so that just adds an extra layer to these lines
Rest in peace Adrian Dunbar
Repulsive post - but maybe an innocent mistake?
beuatifully done! especially the refrains. Love it
What an actress.
The greatest poem ever written in my opinion.

A favourite of mine, since I was a child. Now, I think I'll always hear it as read by Adrian Dunbar. Thank you for that, truly. Fun fact: this was John F Kennedy's favourite poem, apparently.
JFK was Irish so…
An outstanding reading of a marvellous poem.
She's so gorgeous i just recently watch fingersmith she's soooo pretty and adorable.
I'm not quite sure what she said, but I was moved all the same by the divine Elaine.
heavy irish accent, I can't distinguish son and song, hahaha~ like elaine's sweet voice
