THE DUST, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: The dust blows up and down
Last Line: To-morrow so shall I!
Subject(s): Dust


THE dust blows up and down
Within the lonely town;
Vague, hurrying, dumb, aloof,
On sill and bough and roof.
What cloudy shapes do fleet
Along the parched street;
Clerks, bishops, kings go by --
To-morrow so shall I!
