Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

There was a man with tongue of wood
Who essayed to sing,
And in truth it was lamentable.
But there was one who heard
The clip-clapper of this tongue of wood
And knew what the man
Wished to sing,
And with that the singer was content.

1. In the night
2. A spirit sped
3. If there is a witness to my little life
4. When the prophet, a complacent fat man
5. Blustering God
