Where have all the flowers gone is a simple poem about the futility of war. There are flowers in the field. The young girls pick them. The young girls marry. The husbands go to war, and are killed. There are flowers in the field again.
The song was composed at the height of the Cold War. It also talk about long time effects. The reality in the song is grim.
The message that is given is that war is useless (futile). The poet asks
"When will they ever learn?"
which means that when will they ever learn to stop fighting and live in peace. The next is that the poet asks when will the girls learn to stop marrying soldiers who goes to wars.

If quotes are at the end of a sentence does the question mark come before the end quote or after?
It can work either way, depending upon what question you are aksing; I will illustrate. First example: Who was it who said "Give me liberty or give me death"? Pete Seeger once asked the question, "Where have all the flowers gone?" If the quote is a question it gets the question mark, but if the sentence is a question about a quote, then the question mark is outside of the quotation marks. English grammar is very logical (unlike English spelling).
