A bird that I don't know	A
Hunched on his light pole like a scarecrow	A
Looks sideways out into the wheat	B
The wind waves under the waves of heat	B
The field is yellow as egg bread dough	A
Except where just as though they'd let	C
It live for looks a locust billows	D
In leaf green and shade violet	E
A standing mercy	F
The bird calls twice Red clay red clay	G
Or else he's saying Directly directly	F
If someone came by I could ask	H
Around here all of them must know	A
And why they live so and die so	A
Or why for once the lagging heron	I
Flaps from the little creek's parched cresses	J
Across the harsh grassed gullied meadow	A
To the black rowed evergreens below	A
They know and they don't know	A
To ask a man must be a stranger	K
And asking much more answering is dangerous	L
Asked about it who would not repent	M
Of all he ever did and never meant	M
And think a life and its distresses	N
Its random clutched for homefelt blisses	N
The circumstances of an accident	O
The farthest farmer in a field	P
A gaunt plant grown for seed by farmers	N
Has felt a longing lorn urbanity	P
Jailed in his breast and just as I	Q
Has grunted in his old perplexity	P
A standing plea	P
From the tar of the blazing square	R
The eyes shift in their taciturn	S
And unavowing unavailable sorrow	A
Yet the intonation of a name confesses	N
Some secrets that they never meant	P
To let out to a soul and what words would not dim	T
The bowed and weathered heads above the denim	U
Or the once too often washed wash dresses	N
They are subdued to their own element	P
One day	P
The red clay face	N
Is lowered to the naked clay	P
After some words the body is forsaken	I
The shadows lengthen and a dreaming hope	V
Breathes from the vague mound Life	W
From the grove under the spire	X
Stars shine and a wandering light	P
Is kindled for the mourner man	Y
The angel kneeling with the wreath	Z
Sees in the moonlight graves	N
