Alan Seeger, born June 22, 1888 and died July 4, 1916, was an American poet who fought in World War I. A statue to his memory and to the memory of his comrades, Americans who had volunteered to fight for France, was erected in the Place des États-Unis, Paris. Born in New York, Seeger moved with his family to Staten Island at the age of one and remained there until the age of ten. In 1900, his family moved to Mexico for two years, which influenced the imagery of some of his poetry. <a href="http

  • I have a rendezvous with DeathAt some disputed barricade,When Spring comes round with rustling shadeAnd apple blossoms fill the air—I have a rendezvous with DeathWhen Spring brings back blue days and fair.
