Brooke contracted blood poisoning and died on a hospital ship in Greece in April 1915 at the young age of 27.

The poem describes the horrors of a gas attack on soldiers during World War I. It depicts men struggling through mud with tired and injured feet. When a gas attack hits, there is panic and chaos as the soldiers scramble to put on their gas masks in time. The speaker sees a man drowning in front of him from the effects of the gas. He is haunted by nightmares of this man. The poem powerfully argues against glorifying war by saying it is not sweet and honorable to die for your country.

Ozymandias
- 3. I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: `Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
- 4. And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.
- 5. And on the pedestal these words appear -- "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.'
