To the maiden

© Stephen Crane

To the maiden
The sea was blue meadow,
Alive with little froth-people
Singing.

There were many who went in huddled procession

© Stephen Crane

There were many who went in huddled procession,
They knew not whither;
But, at any rate, success or calamity
Would attend all in equality.

There was a man who lived a life of fire

© Stephen Crane

There was a man who lived a life of fire.
Even upon the fabric of time,
Where purple becomes orange
And orange purple,

There came whisperings in the winds

© Stephen Crane

There came whisperings in the winds:
"Good-bye! Good-bye!"
Little voices called in the darkness:
"Good-bye! Good-bye!"

There was a man and a woman

© Stephen Crane

There was a man and a woman
Who sinned.
Then did the man heap the punishment
All upon the head of her,
And went away gaily.

There was, before me

© Stephen Crane

There was, before me,
Mile upon mile
Of snow, ice, burning sand.
And yet I could look beyond all this,

The trees in the garden rained flowers.

© Stephen Crane

The trees in the garden rained flowers.
Children ran there joyously.
They gathered the flowers
Each to himself.

There was one I met upon the road

© Stephen Crane

There was one I met upon the road
Who looked at me with kind eyes.
Her said, "Show me of your wares."
And this I did,

There was crimson clash of war.

© Stephen Crane

There was crimson clash of war.
Lands turned black and bare;
Women wept;
Babes ran, wondering.

"Tell brave deeds of war."

© Stephen Crane

Then they recounted tales, --
"There were stern stands
And bitter runs for glory."

Two or three angels

© Stephen Crane

Two or three angels
Came near to the earth.
They saw a fat church.
Little black streams of people

The wayfarer,

© Stephen Crane

The wayfarer,
Perceiving the pathway to truth,
Was struck with astonishment.
It was thickly grown with weeds.

"Think as I think," said a man

"Think as I think," said a man,
"Or you are abominably wicked;
You are a toad."

"Truth," said a traveller

"Truth," said a traveller,
"Is a rock, a mighty fortress;
Often have I been to it,
Even to its highest tower,
From whence the world looks black."

The ocean said to me once

The ocean said to me once,
"Look!
Yonder on the shore
Is a woman, weeping.

Three little birds in a row

Three little birds in a row
Sat musing.
A man passed near that place.
Then did the little birds nudge each other.

The Onion, Memory

© Craig Raine

In the village bakery
the pastry babies pass
from milky slump to crusty cadaver,
from crib to coffin--without palaver.
All's over in a flash,
too silently...

Nothing has changed.
The body shudders as it shuddered
before the founding of Rome and after,
in the twentieth century before and after Christ.
Tortures are as they were, it's just the earth that's grown smaller,
and whatever happens seems right on the other side of the wall.
