A Spring Harvest - 4751

A Spring Harvest By Geoffrey Bache Smith, Foreword by J.R.R. Tolkien Amid the chaos of World War I, a promising poet emerged with verses that capture both the innocence of youth and the tragedy of lost potential. Geoffrey Bache Smith, a close friend of J.R.R. Tolkien, served as an officer in the British Army, writing poetry that mirrored his journey through friendship, love, and the haunting shadows of war. A Spring Harvest offers a poignant glimpse into the short but passionate life of Smith, filled with lyrical beauty and a rare sensitivity to the world around him. In the foreword, Tolkien, mourning his fallen friend, pays tribute to Smith’s poetic gift and reflects on their shared experiences. This collection reveals Smith's inner world, from lighthearted reminiscences to the profound grief of conflict, honoring the dreamer and the soldier within him. His verses linger as a reminder of the lives and voices silenced by war yet immortalized through words.
