The Evening Walls Add Dreary Sadness Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

The Evening Walls Add Dreary Sadness



The evening walls add dreary sadness
Too, though the red dusk begun enough.

The thin twilight irks the moon’s light
And the moon waits for twilight to go

Restless shadows, restless ghost,
Restless shrouds, restless, restless.

Even the ancient walls of ancient houses
Restless tremble. Asphalt roads vibrate.

And there be an undercurrent in the waves
And there be bat cries commencing fast.
