Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Heave Me Back Home

Heave Me Back Home


He grasped the reins across the breadth of me,

recrossed his arms to control the whip and me.


My heart dares not stop, lest I be tangled in the mane.

Dare naught to break the pace of hooves, 


now that we've passed the inn, and they,

...heave me back home.


***'Jamaica Inn' where shady and unscrupulous characters reside, and Mary Yellan, their neighbor whose suspicion grows...
