The grating heat
Swallowed the night-dews
Before the noon
And by the noon
...
The verse is fading
The mists dwindling
The twilight ailing
The dusk be fleeing
...
But
Twenty-four hours ago
We churned up the soil
And put it on the bird
...
The crypt! The crypt!
Waters are seeping
Dawn afar is calling
A lark joyous hops
...
Wild, wild the eyes
The waters
The stunned houses
Still
...
