You are purchasing high quality sheet music PDF files suitable for printing or viewing on digital devices.This moving poem by Ivor Gurney is set in World War I. The sentry, only half awake, staring into the dark, remembers a piece of music by J S Bach, "that most dearest Prelude of my delight". The clouds lift and the stars "show nobly in clear light". Gurney wonders how it will be when he returns home and plays the Prelude: will he feel like a sentry again?
