THE BLACK RIDERS: 39, by STEPHEN CRANE Poet Analysis First Line: The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds Last Line: "and all the being is still to hear." | |||
The livid lightnings flashed in the clouds; The leaden thunders crashed. A worshipper raised his arm. "Hearken! Hearken! The voice of God!" "Not so," said a man. "The voice of God whispers in the heart "So softly "That the soul pauses, "Making no noise, "And strives for these melodies, "Distant, sighing, like faintest breath, "And all the being is still to hear." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LITTLE BIRDS OF THE NIGHT by STEPHEN CRANE THERE IS A GREY THING THAT LIVES IN THE TREE-TOPS by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 1 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 22 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 38 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 56 by STEPHEN CRANE THE BLACK RIDERS: 9 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 1 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 12 by STEPHEN CRANE WAR IS KIND: 21 by STEPHEN CRANE |
