OLD BARN, by                    
First Line: On the edge of the town
Last Line: Your day is done.
Subject(s): Towns


On the edge of the town
See the old barn sag
With a drop in its ridge
Like a sway-backed nag,
And the shingles torn
By the west wind's will
Fly from the skeleton rafters
Until
You may count its starved ribs,
One by one;
Old barn, old horse,
Your day is done.
