‘All’s Well!‪’‬

“Watchman! What of the night?” The answer comes from beyond the war clouds—“I see the morning light”—but the families waiting for news have no such certainty.

Written amid World War I, John Oxenham’s poems speak from a world of men at the front and loved ones waiting at home. With prayers for soldiers in danger, comfort for the bereaved, and a fierce insistence that right must outlast might, Oxenham makes faith both solace and summons. His verses do not look away from shell-shattered churches, muddy trenches, or the ache of not knowing where a son is sleeping; they ask how hope can survive while loss is still unfolding. What does it mean to trust the coming morning when night is all around?
