Stevie Smith - Alone in the WoodsStevie Smith - Alone in the Woods
Work rating: Medium


Alone in the woods I felt The bitter hostility of the sky and the trees Nature has taught her creatures to hate Man that fusses and fumes Unquiet man As the sap rises in the trees As the sap paints the trees a violent green So rises the wrath of Nature`s creatures At man So paints the face of Nature a violent green. Nature is sick at man Sick at his fuss and fume Sick at his agonies Sick at his gaudy mind That drives his body Ever more quickly More and more In the wrong direction.
