Gwen Harwood - DaybreakGwen Harwood - Daybreak
Work rating: Low


The snails brush silver. Critic crow points his unpleasant beak, and lances. Resumes his treetop, darts below his acid-bright, corrosive glances. In the hushed corridors of sleep Professor Eisenbart plots treason. Caretaker mind prepares to sweep the dusty offices of reason. Eisenbart mutters, wakes in rage Because crow’s jarring c-a-a-r-k-s distress him. His mistress grins, refers to age and other matters which oppress him. He scowls purse-lipped. She yawns, and throws Her arms in scarecrow crucifixion. Clear of the hills, light’s wafer shows In world-without-end benediction. She makes him tea. He sips and calms His Royal Academic temper, While Life and Day outside shout psalms In antiphon ... Et nunc et semper.
