The author of this piece

Shall they forget, I said
The place where champions met in peace
Is a constant memory of war
So pleasant to the pride of heroes?
Will we not see the battlefield in pride
Where our ancestors made peace?
But our eyes will be full of tears
Of the fields where warriors fought.
...
The traveller will change his course
To sleep on the hill of men
The moon will move like a dark circle
Over his head in the dream of ghosts
In his weak sight we shall appear
Giving memory of this war

Yes, a dramatic poet, like Shakespeare. Shakespeare isn't the greatest poet of all time based only on his sonnets, narratives, and the Phœnix and the Dove.
