Robert Laurence Binyon - Dark WindRobert Laurence Binyon - Dark Wind
Work rating: Low


In the middle of the night, waking, I was aware Of the Wind like one riding through black wastes of the air, Moodily riding, ever faster, he recked not where. The windows rattled aloud: a door clashed and sprang; And the ear in fear waited to feel the inert clang Strike the shaken darkness, a cruelty and a pang. I was hurt with pity of things that have no will of their own, Lifted in lives of others and cast on bruising stone: I feared the Wind, coming a power from worlds unknown. It was like a great ship now, abandoned, her crew dead, Driving in gulfs of sky; it staggered above and sped; I lay in the deeps and heard it rushing over my head. And the helpless shaking of window and door`s desolate rebound Seemed like tossing and lifting of bodies lost and drowned In the huge indifferent swell, in the waters` wandering sound.
