| Paratext Text | Sent from the Congo Free State in response to Mr Harrison's appeal for the restoration of the Elgin Marbles to Greece |
| Notes | Written while Casement was in Lukunga Valley, Cataract Region of the Lower Congo doing humanitarian work, the poem acts as a direct letter to the British government to lawfully return the Parthenon marbles back to Greece where they belong. |
