CAPTIVES by ERNEST HEMINGWAY

Poet Analysis

First Line: SOME CAME IN CHAINS
Last Line: Making death easy
Subject(s): WORLD WAR I; FIRST WORLD WAR;


Some came in chains
Unrepentant but tired.
Too tired but to stumble.
Thinking and hating were finished
Thinking and fighting were finished.
Cures thus a long campaign,
Making death easy.
