The choice of words "Come Up from the Fields Father" strikes me as the most interesting and effective.

Explanation:

In the poem, "Beat! Beat! Drums!" the words are used to command so the instruments can be played loudly so it can be heard by everyone in the surrounding. The sound is imagined to disturb and distract everyone from what they are doing at that moment. The recurring words emphasizes on the poem's objective which is to create an atmosphere for war.

The poem "Come up from the Fields, Father," is a poem that lays emphasis on the impact of a soldier in a war. The choice of words best fit to create an atmosphere for war in a quiet and peaceful moment. The impact of the sound and the words placement are the most interesting and effective.

The choice of words "Come Up from the Fields Father" is

more effective and interesting than "Beat! Beat! Drums!" because of the word structure and atmosphere it creates as both of them are war based poems.
