Dusk that brings the whippoorwill Turns my blood to anvil stone Hammered on by every still Tree and tone. Why should dusty tone and tree, Twilight tucking silver hems, Lift a sudden Battersea? Whistler's Thames? What is there of sound or tint Here that I should see the blue Soot of a Whistler print Of Waterloo? What have whippoorwills to do With the bleak Embankment? How Reverberates this heart with you Here and now? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES THE HEAD ON THE TABLE by JOHN HAINES |
