IRRADIATIONS: 9, by JOHN GOULD FLETCHER Poet's Biography
First Line: The houses of the city no longer hum and play
Last Line: Sees, in the shadow below, the unpeopled hush of a street.
First Line: The houses of the city no longer hum and play
Last Line: Sees, in the shadow below, the unpeopled hush of a street.
The houses of the city no longer hum and play:
They lie like careless drowsy giants, dumb, estranged.
One presses to his breast his toy, a lighted pane:
One stirs uneasily: one is cold in death.
And the late moon, fearfully peering over an immense shoulder,
Sees, in the shadow below, the unpeopled hush of a street.
