Carrion crows flew round.
An earthquake rocked the ground.
“War, war,” the west wind said.
IN WHICH ROOSEVELT IS COMPARED TO SAUL
Written and published in 1913, and republished five years later, in The Boston Transcript, on the death of Roosevelt.
Where is David?... Oh God’s people
Saul has passed, the good and great.
Mourn for Saul, the first anointed,
Head and shoulders o’er the state.
