it is about a father who's three year old son has fallen in a 'nettle bed' and hurt
himself. then the father goes and gets rid of the nettles, but they grow back. the underlying story is that the father cant protect his son from the dangerous world. The whole poem is a metaphor for, no matter how many nettes (problems) you cut down. there are going to be more.
the poem sais a lot about the author aswell, the reocuring theme of the army and war, reflect the poets time in the army.
