| Notes | This is a short poem about the Emergency - the Irish experience of World War II. The speaker of the poem appears to agree with De Valera's stance regarding neutrality: that it was right to keep Ireland out of the war. The speaker of the poem includes his own memories of that time, notably mentioning his recollection of the destruction of Warsaw at the beginning of the poem. |
