SAMUEL PALMER'S "CORNFIELD BY MOONLIGHT WITH THE EVENING STAR"


Shadow stands on sudden feet; the walker 
With the broad hat must have a dog
This night not meant for walking alone.
The wheat-ghosts whisper: 
The evening star grew wings
And now the roaring moon's on fire! 
The dog made from shadow, still half-made,
Turns his head towards the moonlit man
Walking a road there because he walks it
His high, crooked staff held before him.
