To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Songs of freedom Songs of love Songs of prisoners and soldiers . . .
And I say that young men who are pent up and oppressed with yearning Are the best of all singers.
45 Nightfall in Prison When the velvet folds of the twilight-curtain descend On the gold-and-pink embellishments of day, And in town the westward-looking cottages Yellow, green and blue and white Stand in the dimming rays of sunset; When in the wild the purple pools of shadow Over-rise their rugged shores And flow and flood with d...ewy dusk The field, the grove, the hill Think then Of a single tinted feather from the pinion of day's flight Fluttering over a distant hill, Clutched at, in its fall, from a grated window; And of cells within Where shadows of bars lie like dead days in the tombs of time Till darkness falls, in silent heavy-heaping clods, Burying all.
A Tree by the Road The Hawthorne tree On the roadside near the prison Is like a pensive lady of gentle birth; And in the evening When we march in from work Its dark leaves, lighter green at the ends- Like the tips of slender, soft fingers Reach down As if offering caresses, Languidly, Knowing they cannot touch her lover.
