Kenneth Slessor - Cock-CrowKenneth Slessor - Cock-Crow
Work rating: Low


THE cock`s far cry From lonely yards Burdens the night With boastful birds That mop their wings To make response— A mess of songs And broken sense. So, when I slept, I heard your call (If lips long dead Could answer still) And snapped-off thoughts Broke into clamour, Like the night`s throats Heard by a dreamer.
