Notes This poem appears to refer to a situation of oppression in an unnamed country. The country in question is under the control of a tyrant, as specified in the first verse: the sun has been obscured by black wings, nothing grows, and water appears to have stopped flowing. The dead clap their hands underground. The speaker of the poem feels peace within himself at the end of the poem, despite his surroundings.
