| Notes | This poem describes aspects of post-World War II Berlin - Soviet soldiers on guard near the Brandenburger Tor and the Grave of the Unknown Soldier. This section of Berlin was under Soviet control during the Cold War. The speaker laments the fall of the beautiful, cultural Berlin. 'Scoilteadh Croí' 'Heartbreak' refers to the speaker's own emotions about the city, as well as a direct allusion to the splitting of the city into Zones after the war. |
