Er... what poem is this?

Featured Replies

"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,

 

"The bark on the tree were as soft as the skies."

 

While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely,

 

Crying to the moon, "If only, if only."

 

If only, if only, the moons speaks no reply;

 

Reflecting the sun and all that's gone by,

 

Be strong my weary wolf, turn around boldly,

 

Fly high, my baby bird, my angel, my only.

 

 

 

Yeah... I was just wondering if any one has seen this before and if they know the author and title. I'm kinda sure that it's Emily Dickenson, but at the same time I'm not too sure.

 

 

 

^.^ Thanks!

 

As you can see it's already partially in my sig. Keep quite about that, the masses don't need to know.

We don't rebel to sell it just suits us well, we're the bright young things.

Google it. It says that those are lyrics from a song or a quote from HOLES (the book). :)

I'm pretty sure it's *not* by Emily [bleep]inson, wherever it's from. :P Not her style at all.

"Metal isn't about violence or faggy whiny lyrics. It isn't even about who plays the heaviest and fastest. It is about invoking a sense of wonder and magnitude that no other genre can depict."

It's the old lady's lullaby/spell thing which is sung in Holes, the book by Louis Sachar.

I'm pretty sure it's *not* by Emily [bleep]inson, wherever it's from. :P Not her style at all.

 

 

 

Sweet, 1 poet down - how many to go? :P

 

 

 

According to Google, it's Fiction Plane Lyrics, from Holes. Obviously.
