old countryside - louise bogan lyrics

Loading...

beyond the hour we counted rain that fell
on the slant shutter, all has come to proof
the summer thunder, like a wooden bell
rang in the storm above the mansard roof

and mirrors cast the cloudy day along
the attic floor; wind made the clapboards creak
you braced against the wall to make it strong
a sh*ll against your cheek

long since, we pulled brown oak*leaves to the ground
in a winter of dry trees; we heard the c*ck
shout its unp lace able cry, the axe’s sound
delay a moment aftеr the axe’s stroke

far back, wе saw, in the stillest of the year
the scrawled vine shudder, and the rose*branch show
red to the th*rns, and, sharp as sight can bear
the thin hound’s body arched against the snow
