Twenty-four Hours

Evelyn Scott

From “Tropical Life”

  • White flower,
  • Your petals float away;
  • But I hardly hear them.

  • THE DAY is so long and white,

    A road all dust,

    Smooth monotony;

    And the night at the end,

    A hill to be climbed,

    Slowly, laboriously,

    While the stars prick our hands

    Like thistles.
