IRRADIATIONS: 9, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography First Line: The houses of the city no longer hum and play Last Line: Sees, in the shadow below, the unpeopled hush of a street. | ||||||||
The houses of the city no longer hum and play: They lie like careless drowsy giants, dumb, estranged. One presses to his breast his toy, a lighted pane: One stirs uneasily: one is cold in death. And the late moon, fearfully peering over an immense shoulder, Sees, in the shadow below, the unpeopled hush of a street. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARIZONA POEMS: 4.
