Paratext Text | de Peter Schiff, an buachaill a raibh Anne Frank i ngrá leis |
Notes | The subtitle of this poem refers to a photograph of Peter Schiff, a young boy with whom Anne Frank was smitten. An aura of threat pervades the poem and there are explicit references to queues of people on the road, a train station, and the sound of marching boots. In the final stanza, there is a reference to the transport of Jewish children to Northern Ireland for refuge during World War II. |
