THE BLACK RIDERS: 46 by STEPHEN CRANE

Poet Analysis

First Line: MANY RED DEVILS RAN FROM MY HEART
Last Line: OF THINGS FROM MY HEART.

Many red devils ran from my heart
And out upon the page,
They were so tiny
The pen could mash them.
And many struggled in the ink.
It was strange
To write in this red muck
Of things from my heart.
