WAR IS KIND: 16, by STEPHEN CRANE Poet Analysis
First Line: There was a man with tongue of wood
Last Line: And with that the singer was content.
First Line: There was a man with tongue of wood
Last Line: And with that the singer was content.
There was a man with tongue of wood
Who essayed to sing,
And in truth it was lamentable.
But there was one who heard
The clip-clapper of this tongue of wood
And knew what the man
Wished to sing,
And with that the singer was content.
