Dusk that brings the whippoorwill Turns my blood to anvil stone Hammered on by every still Tree and tone. Why should dusty tone and tree, Twilight tucking silver hems, Lift a sudden Battersea? Whistler's Thames? What is there of sound or tint Here that I should see the blue Soot of a Whistler print Of Waterloo? What have whippoorwills to do With the bleak Embankment? How Reverberates this heart with you Here and now? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...STONE'S SECRET by MARGARET AVISON CONTRA MORTEM: THE STONE by HAYDEN CARRUTH NAMING FOR LOVE by HAYDEN CARRUTH OF THE STONES OF THE PLACE by ROBERT FROST THE EYE IN THE ROCK by JOHN HAINES |
