SPRING WATER, by KENNETH SLADE ALLING
First Line: How very distant shrills the slaughter
Last Line: And forest things grow frolicsome.
Subject(s): Water
First Line: How very distant shrills the slaughter
Last Line: And forest things grow frolicsome.
Subject(s): Water
How very distant shrills the slaughter
Of time when March hears falling water.
Obsidian pools in purple walls --
On them the falling water falls;
White sound struck out of a black drum:
And there beside the hemlock hole
A dryad dances with her soul
And forest things grow frolicsome.
