The Dark
by Elizabeth Madox Roberts
image
There are six little houses up on the hill.

And when it is night,
There are six little windows with light.

The katydids sing and some frogs are about,
5 And after a while one light goes out.

And then there are five lights still.

The little frogs chirp and I hear a dog bark
Somewhere away in the dark—

Off in the dark away somewhere
10 And only four houses are left up there.

And then there are three, and two, and one,
And the one little house with the light goes on

And on, and the dew gets cool,
And just for a moment there comes an owl . . .

15 Somebody sings three words, just three,
And five cool shivers go over the tree,
And a shiver goes over me.

A night fly comes with powdery wings
That beat on my face—it’s a moth that brings

20 A feel of dust, and then a bright
Quick moment comes to the one little light.

But it flickers out and then it is still,
And nothing is left on the hill.

PLEASE BE FAST

When i was young enough to still spend a long time buttoning my shoes in the morning, i'd listen toward the hall: daddy upstairs was shaving, in the bathroom, and mother downstairs was frying the bacon. they would begin whispering back and forth to each other up and down the stairwell. my father would whistle his phrase, my mother would try to whistle, then hum hers backi drew my buttonhook in and out and listened to it -know it was "the merry widow." the difference was, their song almost floated with laughter. how different from the record, which growled from the beginning, as if the victrola were only slowly being wound up. they kept it running between them, up and down the stairs where i was now just about ready to run clattering down and show them my shoes. what is the effect of the parallelism used in the above excerpt? it establishes the rhythm of a duet to echo the song. it expresses the same ideas. it mirrors opposite ideas. it is a paradox.
