Earth
Lay in the trench
bean, barley, corn,
twisted in silken sheets
your love dreaming.
In all the lord's land they lay
shark-jaw traps.
Young englishman,
walk the safe way home.

Very interesting. Is 'Lay' the verb of 'Earth lay ....' or a command?

I agree with Cynthia it is a little confusing . But I love the poem if for nothing les for your use of words.
Nice one
