LAST HOURS, by JOHN FREEMAN Poet's Biography
First Line: A gray day and quiet
Last Line: Slowly pass.
Subject(s): Winter
First Line: A gray day and quiet
Last Line: Slowly pass.
Subject(s): Winter
A GRAY day and quiet,
With slow clouds of gray,
And in dull air a cloud that falls, falls
All day.
The naked and stiff branches
Of oak, elm, thorn,
In the cold light are like men aged and
Forlorn.
Only a gray sky,
Grass, trees, grass again,
And all the air a cloud that drips, drips,
All day.
Lovely the lonely
Bare trees and green grass—
Lovelier now the last hours of slow winter
Slowly pass.
