Classic and Contemporary Poetry


UMBRA by WILLIAM BRIAN HOOKER

First Line: IN THE NIGHT, THE HEART
Last Line: IN THE NIGHT, THE HEART!

In the night, the heart
Feels the breath of things;
Gathers sweet or smart
Where the eyes are blind,
Where no echo clings.
In the day, the mind --
In the night, the heart!
