| Notes | This short rhyming poem is most likely in reference to Irish soldiers returning home from fighting in World War I to receive a poor welcome and little place for them in the mythology of the new Irish state. The poem references their being forgotten, despite their belief that they were fighting for their country, and the speaker of the poem reflects on the sad fate of the returned soldier, living a senseless life. |
