Notes This poem contains a reference to the killing of the Romanov family. This is most likely in reference to the execution of Tsar Nicholas and his family after Lenin took power in Russia. The flood described in this poem may be a metaphor for the rapid spread of Communism in Russia after the 1917 Revolution. This may be true in the context of the title, which mentions 'Fómhar' = 'Autumn' - the Russian Revolution took place in October 1917.
