Ominous ConcordGlenway Wescott
From “Still-hunt”
A
But wearier, I prepare
Answer and return
To the prophetic air;
Voices of the unearthly nation
With autumnal melody
Of my own creation:
So long-imagined love retreat
Into despair as sharp and fine
As the print of sea-gull’s feet.
With silvery indifference;
And what they mean or know
Is, like the falling of first snow,
An indecipherable cadence.
