Mark Van Doren Away Poems
- 1. Our Lady Peace
How far is it to peace, the piper sighed,
The solitary, sweating as he paused.
Asphalt the noon; the ravens, terrified,
Fled carrion thunder that percussion caused.
... - 2. The Deepest Dream
The deepest dream is of mad governors,
Down, down we feel it, till the very crust
Of the world cracks, and where there was no dust,
Atoms of ruin rise. Confusion stirs,
... - 3. Spring Thunder
Listen, The wind is still,
And far away in the night --
See! The uplands fill
With a running light.
