These shall be my songs to you: Water running up a hill, Stones singing as birds do, Rain falling hot and shrill, Black flames burning high, Wind clouds changless and at rest, Sun that sets in the eastern sky And rises in the west! You may know by these things I am coming and very near; Then hide! hide when the first stone sings, Lest you be stricken down with fear! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
