| Paratext Text | (tar éis gur baineadh na magairlí as saighdiúirí Gearmánacha agus gur fuáladh iad ina mbéala sular maraíodh iad go mall milis gan triail ar treallchogaithe shaoirse na Polainne) |
| Notes | The first-person speaker of this poem is a Polish father who witnessed brutal atrocities inflicted on his parents and daughters by German soldiers during World War II. The poem's paratext outlines the revenge to which the speaker alludes, without remorse, in the final two lines of the poem. The paratext reads 'after German soldiers were castrated and their testicles sewn into their mouths before being killed sweetly and slowly without trial by Polish freedom fighters'. |
