The well is not used now, Its waters are tainted. I remember there was once a man went down To clean it. He found it very cold and deep, With a queer niche in one of its sides, From which he hauled forth buckets of bricks and dirt. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ABBA JACOB IN THE WELL by MARILYN NELSON ONCE MORE BREVITY by ROBERT FROST PERSONAL HELICON; FOR MICHAEL LONGLEY by SEAMUS HEANEY THE WELL OF ST.
