CLOUD UPON CLOUD (1), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Cloud upon cloud
Last Line: The solitude sing


Cloud upon cloud
The world is a seeming,
Feigns dying, but dies not,
Corpses rise ruddy,
Follow their funerals.
Seest thou not brother
Drops hate detachment,
And atoms disorder,
How they run into plants,
And grow into beauties.
The darkness will glow,
The solitude sing
