SALVAGE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: So suddenly her life
Last Line: A toy gun and a copper coffee-pot.


So suddenly her life
Had crashed about that grey old country wife,
Naked she stood, and gazed
Bewildered, while her home about her blazed,
New-widowed, and bereft
Of her five sons, she clung to what was left,
Still hugging all she'd got --
A toy gun and a copper coffee-pot.
