November Night

by Adelaide Crapsey
Listen. .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp'd, break from the trees
And fall. 

Adventure

by Adelaide Crapsey
Sun and wind and beat of sea,
Great lands stretching endlessly…
Where be bonds to bind the free?
All the world was made for me! 

Release

by Adelaide Crapsey
With swift
Great sweep of her
Magnificent arm my pain
Clanged back the doors that shut my soul
From life. 

Snow

by Adelaide Crapsey
Look up…
From bleakening hills
Blows down the light, first breath
Of wintry wind…look up, and scent
The snow!

Moon-shadows

by Adelaide Crapsey
Still as
On windless nights
The moon-cast shadows are,
So still will be my heart when I
Am dead.

Anguish

by Adelaide Crapsey
Keep thou
Thy tearless watch
All night but when blue-dawn
Breathes on the silver moon, then weep!
Then weep!

Trapped

by Adelaide Crapsey
Well and
If day on day
Follows, and weary year
On year…and ever days and years…
Well?

Youth

by Adelaide Crapsey
But me
They cannot touch,
Old Age and death…the strange
And ignominious end of old
Dead folk!

Winter

by Adelaide Crapsey
The cold
With steely clutch
Grips all the land…alack,
The little people in the hills
Will die!

Triad

by Adelaide Crapsey
These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow…the hour
Before the dawn…the mouth of one
Just dead.
