AS A FOWL by THOMAS ERNEST HULME

Poet Analysis

First Line: AS A FOWL IN THE TALL GRASS LIES
Last Line: BY THE WHITE HOUSES OF OLD FLEMISH TOWNS.

As a fowl in the tall grass lies
Beneath the terror of the hawk,
The tressed white light crept
Whispering with hand on mouth mysterious
Hunting the leaping shadows in straight streets
By the white houses of old Flemish towns.
