ECHO
By Walter de la Mare (1873-1956)
'Who called?' I said, and the words
Through the whispering glades,
Hither, thither, baffled the birds -
'Who called? Who called?'
The leafy boughs on high
Hissed in the sun;
The dark air carried my cry
Faintingly on:
Eyes in the green, in the shade,
In the motionless brake,
Voices that said what I said,
For mockery's sake:
'Who cares?' I bawled through my tears;
The wind fell low: In the silence,
'Who cares? Who cares?'
Wailed to and fro. |
