| Notes | The speaker of the poem visits Arlington National Cemetery in the United States, one of the most prestigious military graveyards in the country. There are mentions of tourists, taking pictures with cameras on an official tour of the cemetery, while the noise of the soldier's boots at the Grave of the Unknown Soldier ring across the graveyard.The mention of Flanders flowers appears to be a clear reference to World War I. |
