| Notes | The poem is inspired by Casement's experience of living in Africa and it illustrates the beauty of its landscape, its traumatic colonial history and the struggle of its people. References to imprisonment, violence, and progress juxtapose the African country's history and environment to the West's imposition of power upon it. |
