Poetry by John Masefield
John Masefield has written at least the following books:
I could not sleep for thinking of the sky, The unending sky, with all its million suns Which turn their planets everlastingly In nothing, where the fire-haired comet runs. If I could sail that nothing, I should cross Silence and emptiness with dark stars passing; Then, in the darkness, see a point of gloss Burn to a glow, and glare, and keep amassing, And rage into a sun with wandering planets, And drop behind; and then, as I proceed, See his last light upon his last moon's granites Die to a dark that would be night indeed: Night where my soul might sail a million years In nothing, not even Death, not even tears. -- "V," Lollingdon Downs (1917), p. 6. |
