Poem by Stephen Crane

"Have you ever made a just man?"

”Have you ever made a just man?”
”Oh, I have made three,” answered God,
”But two of them are dead,
And the third --
Listen! Listen!
And you will hear the thud of his defeat.”

1. Many red devils ran from my heart
2. Friend, your white beard sweeps the ground
3. A slant of sun on dull brown walls
4. I explain the silvered passing of a ship at night
5. And you love me
