    About this ebook

    Here is a book of American twentieth-century poetry, some written during the war years of 1914 to 1918. The poems are all indeed sonnets, and the book is named after the first poem. It is prefaced by a long introductory 'advertisement', wherein the author expresses his feelings of despair asnd hopelessness about the ongoing war, and his belief that America and the Allies will fail.
