A Slant Of Sun On Dull Brown Walls

Title:     A Slant Of Sun On Dull Brown Walls
Author: Stephen Crane [More Titles by Crane]

A slant of sun on dull brown walls,
A forgotten sky of bashful blue.

Toward God a mighty hymn,
A song of collisions and cries,
Rumbling wheels, hoof-beats, bells,
Welcomes, farewells, love-calls, final moans,
Voices of joy, idiocy, warning, despair,
The unknown appeals of brutes,
The chanting of flowers,
The screams of cut trees,
The senseless babble of hens and wise men--
A cluttered incoherency that says at the stars;
"O God, save us!"

[The end]
Stephen Crane's poem: Slant Of Sun On Dull Brown Walls
