EVEN such is Time, that takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, our all we have,
And pays us but with earth and dust;
Who in the dark and silent grave,
When we have wander’d all our ways,
Shuts up the story of our days;
But from this earth, this grave, this dust,
My God shall raise me up, I trust. ~ Sir Walter Raleigh

OF A VOYAGE


...Its colder now
there are many stars
we are drifting
North by the Great Bear
the leaves are falling
The water is stone in the scooped rocks, to the southward

Red Sun, Grey Air
The crows are
Slow on their crooked wings,
The Ospreys have left us:
Long since we passed the Flares of Orion
Each man believes in his heart he will die.
Many have written last thoughts and last letters.
none know if our deaths are now or forever:
Listen!

The Silver Whistler.

---Archibold MacLeish

Of Dylan Thomas


Is it? Was the dark not always darker?
Have we not had these Silver Whistlers?
Listen!
That's Chaucer like a Bobolink.

I think it's not the darkness growing darker
makes for whistling well. I think
it's knowing how to whistle.

Listen!

that's Dylan trilling like a Lark.

---George Barker
