| Notes | A short poem about the inevitability and continuity of war – i.e when the Great War (likely World War I) has been forgotten, humans will fight again with impunity. This poem was probably written around the time of the Great War's centenary, based upon the poem's publication date. The sacrifice and death of previous wars will come to be meaningless with the passage of time. |
