Edward Thomas - Fifty FaggotsEdward Thomas - Fifty Faggots
Work rating: Low


There they stand, on their ends, the fifty fag gots That once were underwood of hazel and ash In Jenny Pink`s copse. Now, by the hedge Close packed, they make a thicket fancy alone Can creep through with the mouse and wren. Next spring A blackbird or robin will nest there, Accustomed to them, thinking they will remain Whatever is for ever to a bird: This Spring it is too late; the swift has come. `Twas a hot day for carrying them up: Better they will never warm me, though they must Light several Winters` fires. Before they are done The war will have ended, many other things Have ended, maybe, that I can no more Foresee or more control than robin and wren.
