SALVAGE, by ABBIE HUSTON EVANS First Line: I heard the crickets all about Last Line: Against the winter and the dark. Subject(s): Crickets; Nature | ||||||||
I HEARD the crickets all about, Drunk with sunshine, shout and shout. Mountain-cranberry by the ledge, Fingering the sun-warmed edge, Fed its berries round and red On the mountain's flinty bread, And the hazel crooked its stalk To nurse its nuts against the rock. In the seamO fair, fair, fair! Feathered grasses shone like hair; Up there on the mountain-side They had yielded seed, and died. This much I was quick to mark, Against the winter and the dark. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...INTERRUPTED MEDITATION by ROBERT HASS TWO VIEWS OF BUSON by ROBERT HASS THE FATALIST: HOME by LYN HEJINIAN WRITING IS AN AID TO MEMORY: 17 by LYN HEJINIAN LET US GATHER IN A FLOURISHING WAY by JUAN FELIPE HERRERA IN MICHAEL ROBINS?ÇÖS CLASS MINUS ONE by HICOK.
