  • Tell Me a Story

    Robert Penn Warren - 1905-1989



    [ A ]


    Long ago, in Kentucky, I, a boy, stood

    By a dirt road, in first dark, and heard

    The great geese hoot northward.


    I could not see them, there being no moon

    And the stars sparse. I heard them.


    I did not know what was happening in my heart.


    It was the season before the elderberry blooms,

    Therefore they were going north.


    The sound was passing northward.


     


    [ B ]


    Tell me a story.


    In this century, and moment, of mania,

    Tell me a story.


    Make it a story of great distances, and starlight.


    The name of the story will be Time,

    But you must not pronounce its name.


    Tell me a story of deep delight.
