| Notes | This short, rhyming poem about Chernobyl encapsulates the speaker's feelings about the disaster - the lark and the youth have been silenced, while despair has won a victory. However, the speaker, in the midst of this suffering and disaster, sings a song of resurrection and revival. This implies that he believes that good will come of the Chernobyl disaster. |
