| Notes | The speaker of this poem describes humanity's moral obligation to have sympathy and compassion for all - humans, nature, and animals alike. The poem reflects upon the duty of all to sympathize with and assist those who suffer, such as the man incarcerated in an asylum who appears in the poem. Notably, South Africa is mentioned in the poem, which may be in reference to the post-colonial apartheid society of the country. |
