Classic and Contemporary Poetry
OUTLAW, by VIRGINIA ABEL
First Line: Into the amber twilight
Last Line: Silence, dignified, lay.
First Line: Into the amber twilight
Last Line: Silence, dignified, lay.
Into the amber twilight
Fell one fervent note,
Dropped, as dew from a lily,
Out of a pulsing throat.
Shadows, shocked and reproving,
Hushed it softly away;
Once again, like a snowdrift,
Silence, dignified, lay.
