The Second Book of Modern Verse; a Selection from the Work of Contemporaneous American Poets

Wide Haven. [Clement Wood]

Tired of man’s futile, petty cry,
Of lips that lie and flout,
I saw the slow sun dim and die
And the slim dusk slip out . . .
Life held no room for doubt.

What though Death claim the ones I prize
In War’s insane crusade,
Last night I saw Orion rise
And the great day-star fade,
And I am not dismayed.
