Poem by Stephen Crane

* * *

There was a man with tongue of wood
Who essayed to sing,
And in truth it was lamentable.
But there was one who heard
The clip-clapper of this tongue of wood
And knew what the man
Wished to sing,
And with that the singer was content.

1. The ocean said to me once
2. To the maiden
3. Two or three angels
4. You tell me this is God?
5. Behold, from the land of the farther suns
