Poem by Dylan Thomas

On a Wedding Anniversary

The sky is torn across
This ragged anniversary of two
Who moved for three years in tune
Down the long walks of their vows.

Now their love lies a loss
And Love and his patients roar on a chain;
From every tune or crater
Carrying cloud, Death strikes their house.

Too late in the wrong rain
They come together whom their love parted:
The windows pour into their heart
And the doors burn in their brain.

1. If My Head Hurt a Hair's Foot
2. Here in This spring
3. On the Marriage of a Virgin
4. Into Her Lying Down Head
5. Unluckily for a Death
