FEVER, by ALFRED HENSCHKE Poet's Biography First Line: Often the road-menders gather Last Line: Where a tramway and a garbage-cart and a hearse rumble and beat. Alternate Author Name(s): Klabund | ||||||||
Often the road-menders gather And break stone for the road-bed. They put up a ladder And hammer the stones into my head. And my head becomes as hard as a street, Where a tramway and a garbage-cart and a hearse rumble and beat. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE POET TO HIS BELOVED by ALFRED HENSCHKE THE WIND STRODE WILDLY by ALFRED HENSCHKE THURSDAY by WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS A STRANGE MEETING by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES ON H---- THE PICK THANK by WILLIAM BLAKE THE DREAMING MAN by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH A BLOT IN THE 'SCUTCHEON; A TRAGEDY by ROBERT BROWNING |
