Allen Tate - Sonnets Of The Blood VIAllen Tate - Sonnets Of The Blood VI
Work rating: Low


The fire I praise was once perduring flame- Till it snuffs with our generation out; No matter, it`s all one, it`s but a name Not as late honeysuckle half so stout; So think upon it how the fire burns blue, Its hottest, when the flame is all but spent; Thank God the fuel is low, well not renew That length of flame into our firmament; Think too the rooftree crackles and will fall On us, who saw the sacred fury`s height- Seated in her tall chair, with the black shawl From head to foot, burning with motherly light More spectral than November dusk could mix With sunset, to blaze on her pale crucifix.
