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. Being But Men
2. Into Her Lying Down Head
3. When I Woke
4. Holy Spring
5. In the White Giant's Thigh
