(War Time)

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools 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.

I just discovered your comics and illustration (from Why Humans Kiss, Explained), awesome works! Looking forward to your new stuff, hope the best for you.

Is the family at 0:46 a reference to the Bradbury story of the same name? Beautiful and subtle. Really a chilling animation.
