Arthur Symons - The Crying Of The Earth
Work rating: Low

I hear the melancholy crying of birds in the night 
Over the long brown wrinkled fields that lie 
As far along as the starless roots of the sky; 
I hear them crying from the water out of sight, 

A melancholy and insatiable and inexplicable noise, 
A loud whimpering between two silences, 
The silence of starry life and this that is 
The silence of Earth in pain of travail: O voice 

"Wandering bodiless, between sky and sod, 
Angry and pitiful, a crying uncomforted, 
Are you not the crying of the earth on her outraged bed, 
Against Man, who has got her with child, to her Father God?
