| Notes | This poem is included in the sequence of poems titled 'Labor' and references workers' rights and the potential of steel / iron workers to withhold their labour and bring the machinations of the modern world to a halt, thus undermining the political status quo. Included in the collection 'The Ghetto and Other Poems' (1918), it may be understood in the context of the Russian Revolution and the poet's support of the Communist cause. |
