Stephen Crane (1871-1900)

Should the Wide World Roll Away


X

              1Should the wide world roll away
              2Leaving black terror
              3Limitless night,
              4Nor God, nor man, nor place to stand
              5Would be to me essential
              6If thou and thy white arms were there
              7And the fall to doom a long way.
