| Notes | This is a short poem about an unspecified war. Despite the lack of specificity of the war, its time, or its location, there is a strong sense of foreboding in the poem, with the war polluting the sky with smoke, and something malignant appearing at the edge of the mountain. The disembodied child's voice counting the shadows is a foreboding image with which to close this poem. |
