THE DUST by LIZETTE WOODWORTH REESE

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE DUST BLOWS UP AND DOWN
Last Line: TO-MORROW SO SHALL I!
Subject(s): DUST;

THE dust blows up and down
Within the lonely town;
Vague, hurrying, dumb, aloof,
On sill and bough and roof.
What cloudy shapes do fleet
Along the parched street;
Clerks, bishops, kings go by --
To-morrow so shall I!
