England the Mother/Written after reading The Hour Glass

Draft in pencil in Ivor Gurney's hand. The latter part of England the Mother is on the left hand page. The right hand page contains the draft of a poem 'Written after reading ""The Hour glass""' - a play by W.B. Yeats. From a red notebook inscribed 'Pte Gurney / 2/5 Gloucesters', used by Gurney, principally at Rouen, during May-June 1917 and containing various notes and drafts of poems.此为艾弗·格尼（Ivor Gurney）亲笔以铅笔撰写的草稿。左页为诗作《英格兰，我的母亲》（England the Mother）的后半部分内容；右页则收录了诗作《读罢"The Hour glass"有感》（Written after reading "The Hour glass"）的草稿，该诗题咏的是W.B.叶芝（W.B. Yeats）创作的戏剧《沙漏》（The Hour glass）。该手稿出自一本标注有‘列兵格尼 / 第2/5格洛斯特团’（Pte Gurney / 2/5 Gloucesters）的红色笔记本，此笔记本由格尼于1917年5月至6月期间主要在鲁昂（Rouen）使用，内收各类笔记与诗作草稿。
