A war poem by Sara Teasdale

Nice Video. Sara's poem makes me think about us and our relationship with the earth and nature. One of my favorites.

I've watched probably a dozen videos that either include (as an adaptation of Ray Bradbury's short story) or are directly about this poem and the fact that people can't figure out what it is about is both troubling and humorous. If somehow the last lines of the poem don't give it away there's this amazing thing called wikipedia.

A poetic challenge to man's solipsism or the purported self importance of mankind. The culmination of mankind's petty wars and struggles amount to no difference of the big picture of the universe, -which wouldn't even bother to notice.

were singing this in choir its a beautiful song

The poem is not about a nuclear holocaust, because Sara Teasdale died in 1933, approx. 10 years before nuclear weapons were even invented!
