| Notes | The speaker of this short poem mentions the degenerative mental health of someone the speaker holds dear. His mental condition is described in detail in the poem, as the speaker visits him in the institution. There is a notable mention of the Great War at the end of the poem, most likely in reference to World War I, as the speaker's friend plays a World War trumpet to wake the house. This inclusion of the war may imply that the speaker's friend believes the horrors of war to have contributed to his condition. |
