Monition
Original Text
Charles G. D. Roberts, The Vagrant of Time (Toronto: Ryerson, 1927): 35. PS 8485 O22V3 Roberts Library.
1A faint wind, blowing from World's End,
2 Made strange the city street.
3A strange sound mingled in the fall
4 Of the familiar feet.
5Something unseen whirled with the leaves
6 To tap on door and sill.
7Something unknown went whispering by
8 Even when the wind was still.
9And men looked up with startled eyes
10 And hurried on their way,
11As if they had been called, and told
12 How brief their day.
