“Metamorphosis” by Wallace Stevens 🇺🇸 (2 Oct 1879 – 2 Aug 1955)
Yillow, yillow, yillow,
Old worm, my pretty quirk,
How the wind spells out
Sep - tem - ber …
​
Summer is in bones.
Cock-robin’s at Caracas.
Make o, make o, make o,
Oto - otu - bre.
​
And the rude leaves fall.
The rain falls. The sky
Falls and lies with the worms.
The street lamps
​
Are those that have been hanged,
Dangling in an illogical
To and to and fro
Fro Niz - nil - imbo.
