@lawrencewraith because the poetry is so great that it can transcend disciplines. All lyrics in music are really just poems at heart. To deny that would deny one of the very reasons why vocal music is even practiced. Would Bohemian Rhapsody or Sound of Silence be what they are without poetry...no, I don't think they would. Art is art,and as you can see from the posts here strong emotional music combined with moving poetry results in an overwhelming experience. That is why we sing poems, to feel.
@jewfro408 Check out the Canadian Men's Chorus. We have a clip here on YouTube and we're actually performing this work tomorrow afternoon at the Glenn Gould Studio here in Toronto. For a start-up choir, you may be impressed with our sound.
why does everyone insist on singing a poem that was only meant to be spoken

The most powerful arrangement because it is sung by men who sound to be about the age of the solders who lived and died in WWI. Who is singing?

Lovely tune. I think this must be the 3rd tune I've heard set to these words. All of them beautiful.
