Title:     Once A Man Clambering To The Housetops
Author: Stephen Crane [More Titles by Crane]

Once a man clambering to the housetops
Appealed to the heavens.
With a strong voice he called to the deaf spheres;
A warrior's shout he raised to the suns.
Lo, at last, there was a dot on the clouds,
And--at last and at last--
--God--the sky was filled with armies.

[The end]
