Cock-Crow
8 lines✦
UT of the wood of thoughts that grows by nightTo be cut down by the sharp axe of light,--Out of the night, two cocks together crow,Cleaving the darkness with a silver blow:And bright before my eyes twin trumpeters stand,Heralds of splendour, one at either hand,Each facing each as in a coat of arms:The milkers lace their boots up at the farms.
