This poem shows that even when empires fall, God remains. This stanza especially, shows this relationship:
"The tumult and the shouting dies;
The Captains and the Kings depart:
Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice,
An humble and a contrite heart.
Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet,
Lest we forget—lest we forget!"
It shows that a war has ended (the shouting has died) and that the empire has left (the captain and the Kings depart) but that God is still present (Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice etc). We know he is referring to God here, because "Thine" is with a capital T which represents something holy.

Explanation:
Answer: D. Percy Bysshe Shelley
Mary Shelley's husband was none other than Percy Bysshe Shelley. They are both writers, though Mary wrote novels whereas Percy wrote poems. Naturally, the two supported each other in their literary efforts and found inspiration in their daily discussions. One conversation in particular between Lord Byron and Percy was about the subject of Galvanism, and Mary was drawn into it after overhearing them speak. Mary was intrigued by the idea of Galvanism (which is the process of using electric current to stimulate muscle movement), and she was inspired to write a short story. When she showed her work to Percy, he encouraged her to continue writing, expanding her short story into a full novel. The idea that someone could be caused to move simply by electricity gave her the idea to create a fictional monster, born of this technique. Today, we know this monster as "the creature," from Mary's novel <em>Frankenstein.</em><em>
