Read the excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death."My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan's poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before.

The repeated structure in “My country is Kiltartan Cross” and “My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor” links the speaker closely to his home and its people. This parallelism emphasizes his Irish identity and connection to his country. The lines do not express fear of death or a wish to die; they suggest that his death would make little difference to his community.
