He covered this song, very well indeed, but did not write it (and he tell us this in the bootleg album "Family Tree"). Thing is there is NO info on the net about who wrote the original. Can someone who knows please post this.
I read Nick Drake's biography by Patrick Humphries, and according to his friends Drake was good friends with whomever wrote the poem 'Strange Meeting', which I can only assume is Wilfred Owen as stated above because I do not remember his name, and he transformed it into a song, calling it "Strange Meeting II". (which is the actual name of this song)

I'm quite sure he wrote it, and I believe he refers to it as a cover because it is based on the poem, quite modestly on his part.

It sounds very much like his "voice;" if he didn't write it, he may as well have.
