I Heard A Nightingale Cry Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

I Heard A Nightingale Cry



I heard a nightingale cry
and that was last night
and there was threatening star-light
yet
yet the nightingale cried ominous.

and yet
yet
though the cry was ominous
I stood star-struck amidst the frost
of that night, a statue of chill
erect as the firs and oaks
stood I.

and in the ominous song of the nightingale
I saw and heard of new evolution the gale.
