By George M. Moreland

Book Overview

Idle Songs of an Idle Soldier is a collection of poetry written by George Matthew Moreland and first published in 1909. The poems are written from the perspective of a soldier who is often bored and restless during his time in the military. Moreland's poetry reflects the soldier's experiences of loneliness, homesickness, and longing for the comforts of civilian life. The poems are written in a light and humorous tone, with many of them featuring witty wordplay and clever rhymes.
