The poet of this poem"Home They Brought Her Warrior Dead"is MR.Alfred Lord Tennyson. This poem states thatafter a war the soldiers had brought a dead body of a soldier with them who had perished in the war.the body of a dead warrior is brought home to his wife and she has no reaction to this and is in too much of shock to show any emotion.
the maidens conclude that if she does not cry, all the bottled up grief will kill her.
the first try to make her weep by praising the warrior, calling him a true friend and i noble foe, but this doesn't change her state of shock
then a maiden goes over to the dead body and removes the cloth that covers his face, hoping for grief to flow out of the wife, but it doesn't.
finally a ninety year old nurse places their child upon her knee, and her tears roll down like a summer tempest (sudden and furiously) and she(warriors wife) says "sweet my child,i live for thee".
