WAR IS KIND: 15, by STEPHEN CRANE Poet Analysis
First Line: Once a man clambering to the housetops
Last Line: -- god -- the sky was filled with armies.
First Line: Once a man clambering to the housetops
Last Line: -- god -- the sky was filled with armies.
Once a man clambering to the housetops
Appealed to the heavens.
With strong voice he called to the deaf spheres;
A warrior's shout he raised to the suns.
Lo, at last, there was a dot on the clouds,
And -- at last and at last --
-- God -- the sky was filled with armies.
