FEVER, by ALFRED HENSCHKE Poet's Biography First Line: Often the road-menders gather Last Line: Where a tramway and a garbage-cart and a hearse rumble and beat. Alternate Author Name(s): Klabund | |||
Often the road-menders gather And break stone for the road-bed. They put up a ladder And hammer the stones into my head. And my head becomes as hard as a street, Where a tramway and a garbage-cart and a hearse rumble and beat. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POET TO HIS BELOVED by ALFRED HENSCHKE THE WIND STRODE WILDLY by ALFRED HENSCHKE I COULD TAKE by HAYDEN CARRUTH DEVASTATION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON ISOLATION by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE CRANES OF IBYCUS by EMMA LAZARUS A BALLAD OF ATHLONE; OR, HOW THEY BROKE DOWN THE BRIDGE by AUBREY THOMAS DE VERE THE WILL OF GOD by FREDERICK WILLIAM FABER THE SOCIETY UPON THE STANISLAUS by FRANCIS BRET HARTE |
