This poem hits the heart of war veterans. It explains the aftermath of a battle and the pain one goes through. The poem focused more on the bright side rather than what was lost. It kept a "glass half full" attitude. The Lamb at the end expresses the innocence in most people during a time like this. They walk around the rubble of what once was and all they have left are memories.
Three of my favorite lines would be "The ruined city still seemed noble.", "The cathedral with its roof blown off was not less godly", and "walks a single lamb, tilting its head, curious, unafraid, hungry". These line are where the heart of the poem lay.
