Discord In Childhood

Title:     Discord In Childhood
Author: D. H. Lawrence [More Titles by Lawrence]

OUTSIDE the house an ash-tree hung its terrible whips,
And at night when the wind arose, the lash of the tree
Shrieked and slashed the wind, as a ship's
Weird rigging in a storm shrieks hideously.

Within the house two voices arose in anger, a slender lash
Whistling delirious rage, and the dreadful sound
Of a thick lash booming and bruising, until it drowned
The other voice in a silence of blood, 'neath the noise of the ash.

[The end]
D. H. Lawrence's Poem: Discord In Childhood
