I agree with sky, but he is only partially right. The poem was written before WWII, but it was written at the beginning of WWI. It's more likely that it’s Otto von Bismark, not Hitler.

I believe that in this poem the author was trying to say that the world that the watchgaurd was telling Napoleon about [and in his poem Napoleon is dead] is the world of a dreamer to Napolean, because he himself has never seen the way war has changed the world. He's never seen such large armies.
