| Notes | The speaker of this poem appears to be the embodiment of a post-colonial nation, attempting to find its identity once the colonizing power has departed. The persona remembers its innocent past, before the colonization, with sentimentality. The poem ends on a note of hope, with the persona of the post-colonial country stating that it will break the senseless rules of colonialism that still bind it. |
