| Notes | The speaker of the poem describes a man who has become an invalid due to a head injury sustained in a war. This injured man terrifies the speaker of the poem as he is often talking to himself or shouting at no one, indicating a mental impairment as a result of war as well. The poem likely refers to World War I, based on the poet's own age, and the fact that fewer Irishmen fought in World War II. |
