CHILDHOOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Long time he lay upon the sunny hill,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 To his father\u2019s house below securely bound.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Far off the silent, changing sound was still,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With the black islands lying thick around.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

He saw each separate height, each vaguer hue,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Where the massed islands rolled in mist away,<\/span><\/h3>\n

And though all run together in his view<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He knew that unseen straits between them lay.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Often he wondered what new shores were there,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In thought he saw the still light on the sand,<\/span><\/h3>\n

The shallow water clear in tranquil air,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And walked through it in joy from strand to strand.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Over the sound so slow a ship would pass<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 That in the black hill\u2019s gloom it seemed to lie,<\/span><\/h3>\n

The evening sound was smooth like sunken glass,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And time seemed finished ere the ship passed by.<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Grey tiny rocks slept round him where he lay,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Moveless as they, more still as evening came,<\/span><\/h3>\n

The grasses threw straight shadows far away,<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 And from the house his mother called his name.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Edwin Muir (1887-1959)<\/span><\/a><\/h4>\n
