First Line: Wood thrush, crying
Last Line: Oh, bird, I too am broken upon this night!
Subject(s): Rain
Wood thrush, crying,
Bird in the dusk, in the rain,
Is it happiness or pain
That batters now
The small breast on the blown and shadowy bough?
Wild bird shaken under the leaning cloud,
Your wings are wet with rain, your throat is full
Of cries for the silver rain! Oh, brave and loud
Your throat is, at the wood's edge; beautiful
In the summer dusk are the drenched and darkened cedars,
Are the blackberry blossoms dripping and dimly white.
Oh, bird, I too am broken upon this night!
