Bojic survived the Serbian army's retreat through Montenegro and Albania and the desperation of Corfu, and yet in the end succumbed to tuberculosis in Salonika. "Our church bells toll dead instead of hours," he wrote of seeing his countrymen dying around him. At the time of the retreat Bojic had been working on an epic poem, ''"Cain"'', in which he compared Bulgaria's attack on Serbia to the biblical Cain's attack on his brother, Abel. The poem was one of the few things that he carried with him in his knapsack as he made his journey over the Albanian mountains. Upon arriving at the Adriatic seashore only to see his fellow Serbs being thrown out to the sea for burial, he penned one of the most moving war poems of his generation: Ode to a Blue Sea Tomb or better known as ''Plava Grobnica'' (simply translated Blue Graveyard).
