![Because the text in the image is a bit squiggly, here's the transcript of the poem in plain text.
'There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.'

This artwork was inspired by Sophia Light's "Winding Down", a short story in the SCP Foundation universe ( [link] ) Before reading it, It is recommended to read this first for more background info ( [link] )
Set on a dying world which was destroyed by a virus that turn organisms into clockwork machines, this illustration took the scene where Agent Ketterson, the mostly-converted protagonist, hug his fiancee/ wife who was reduced into an automated gardener. In this succumbing last settlement in the empty Siberian tundra, she sings Sara Teasdale's poem "There will come soft rain"](https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/002/050/650/7cd.jpg "Sara Teasdale: There Will Come Soft Rains")
