How many years since I, a wandering man, Sat at a forest fire, for warmth and light! With but one mate, a bird unseen, and strange That kept on crying, all the livelong night 'Aye! ... Aye! ... Aye!' Though times are changed, and different fires are mine, Yet if that strange, wild bird could but restore The youth I lost when in his forest glade Would I not come again in rags, and poor? 'Aye ... Aye ... Aye.' | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE WEALTH OF THE DESTITUTE by DENISE LEVERTOV EMPTY PITCHFORKS by THOMAS LUX FUNERAL SERVICE by EVE MERRIAM A SMALL COUNTRY by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA DOCUMENTAL by CLARIBEL ALEGRIA NOTES ON POVERTY by HAYDEN CARRUTH SONG OF TWO CROWS by HAYDEN CARRUTH PENCIL STUB JOURNALS: CHOICES by JOHN CIARDI AT LAST WE KILLED THE ROACHES by LUCILLE CLIFTON A BIRD'S ANGER by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES |
