Georgian Poetry 1911-12
In The Cool Of The Evening - James Stephens
By Various Authors
Return to Chapter List
I thought I heard Him calling. Did you hear
A sound, a little sound? My curious ear
Is dinned with flying noises, and the tree
Goes, whisper, whisper, whisper silently
Till all its whispers spread into the sound
Of a dull roar. Lie closer to the ground,
The shade is deep and He may pass us by.
We are so very small, and His great eye,
Customed to starry majesties, may gaze
Too wide to spy us hiding in the maze;
Ah, misery! the sun has not yet gone
And we are naked: He will look upon
Our crouching shame, may make us stand upright
Burning in terror, O that it were night!
He may not come ... what? listen, listen, now,
He is here! lie closer ... ’Adam, where art thou?’
