Do Not Weep, Maiden, For War Is Kind Comments

Stephen Crane’s poem, “Do not weep, maiden, War is kind”, brought me some effective feelings when reading this. It tells me the horrific background in a war and what a soldier’s job is during a war. Through each stanza it talks about the soldier's family as in Maiden, babe, and mother. For a soldier to go to war they don't want their family to be sad, they went into war knowing their possible fate.
