| Paratext Text | For Janak Sapkota |
| Notes | This poem occurs in Tampere, Finland, in a public park. The poem likely refers to the Battle of Tampere, waged in 1918 between the Finnish Whites and the Finnish Reds. This conflict was noted as being a particularly bloody battle. Here, the speaker of the poem comments on the peacefulness and beauty of the park nowadays - including the children playing amongst the tombs. The speaker notes that it is wonderful to see a graveyard so 'lively'. |
