Claude McKay - Summer Morn in New HampshireClaude McKay - Summer Morn in New Hampshire
Work rating: Low


All yesterday it poured, and all night long  I could not sleep; the rain unceasing beat Upon the shingled roof like a weird song,  Upon the grass like running children`s feet. And down the mountains by the dark cloud kissed,  Like a strange shape in filmy veiling dressed, Slid slowly, silently, the wraith-like mist,  And nestled soft against the earth`s wet breast. But lo, there was a miracle at dawn!  The still air stirred at touch of the faint breeze, The sun a sheet of gold bequeathed the lawn,  The songsters twittered in the rustling trees. And all things were transfigured in the day,  But me whom radiant beauty could not move; For you, more wonderful, were far away,  And I was blind with hunger for your love.
