This poem was written in 1919. While it's not explicitly to do with the Great War, it wouldn't surprise me if the impact of the war had something to do with the creation of this poem. But maybe not. Hard to say.

The picture used is "Despair" by Edvard Munch. An oil on canvas painting done in 1894. Used here under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International license (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/deed.en).
