Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead

Summary of the poem written by Alfred Lord Tennyson

They brought her husband dead home, but she did not swoon or cry, and she was told to do so or she will die. Then they praised him very soft and called him worthy to be loved because of being the truest friend and the noblest foe, but she still did not speak or move. A maiden stepped towars him and removed a cloth from his face, but she still did not moved nor wept, finally a nurse set his child upon her knee and the wife came to tears saying she will live for him.
