WAR IS KIND: 3 by STEPHEN CRANE

Poet Analysis

First Line: TO THE MAIDEN / THE SEA WAS BLUE MEADOW
Last Line: THE GRIM HATRED OF NATURE.

To the maiden
The sea was blue meadow,
Alive with little froth-people
Singing.
To the sailor, wrecked,
The sea was dead grey walls
Superlative in vacancy,
Upon which nevertheless at fateful time
Was written
The grim hatred of nature.
