Often in times before He wandered through that wood. He entered it once more. His path was red with blood. Some mystery there must be Solution is not known. He entered carelessly, At set of sun, alone. Mysterious things were seen In the shadow of the night, And leaves no longer green In the feeble failing light; While spirits from the tomb Gathered around his way "You too will come to us soon, And you have come today." No signs of life were seen But signs of death were known. The night came down between. The hunter was alone. His side was wet with blood In the bitter chilling air, And he lay with side all bare In that murderous dark wood. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...A FRIEND KILLED IN THE WAR by ANTHONY HECHT FOR JAMES MERRILL: AN ADIEU by ANTHONY HECHT TARANTULA: OR THE DANCE OF DEATH by ANTHONY HECHT CHAMPS D?ÇÖHONNEUR by ERNEST HEMINGWAY NOTE TO REALITY by TONY HOAGLAND IF ICE by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS SPIRITUAL SONNET: ON ANGELS by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS SPIRITUAL SONNET: ON THE SUPERNATURAL by WILLIAM WRIGHTSON EUSTACE ROSS |
