by Lizette Woodworth Reese (1856 - 1935)

A bell in the wind
Language: English 
The sun goes out, and leaves
To the young dusk a cry,
The cry of one who grieves
And is like to die.

There the old houses stand
Down the sunken road;
It clutches them like hand
At throat; it drives like goad.

Along the salmon dusk
A hundred hurts of life;
Around and through it all,
The smell of the wild musk
Is sharp as any knife.

Confirmed with Lizette Woodworth Reese, Wild Cherry, Baltimore, Md: The Norman, Remington Co, 1923.
