Cock-Crow

Title:     Cock-Crow
Author: Edward Thomas [More Titles by Thomas]

OUT of the wood of thoughts that grows by night
To be cut down by the sharp axe of light,--
Out of the night, two cocks together crow,
Cleaving the darkness with a silver blow:
And bright before my eyes twin trumpeters stand,
Heralds of splendour, one at either hand,
Each facing each as in a coat of arms:
The milkers lace their boots up at the farms.

[The end]
Edward Thomas's poem: Cock-Crow
