A bell in the wind

F. Hart

The sun goes out, and leaves

To the young dusk a cry,

The cry of one who grieves

And is like to die.

There the old houses stand

Down the sunken road;

It clutches them like hand

At throat; it drives like goad.

Along the salmon dusk

A hundred hurts of life;

Around and through it all,

The smell of the wild musk

Is sharp as any knife.
