Famous Cinquain Poems
Cinquain Poems by Adelaide Crapsey
November Night
Listen . . .
With faint dry sound,
Like steps of passing ghosts,
The leaves, frost-crisp’d, break from the trees
And fall.
Snow
Look up . . .
From bleakening hills
Blows down the light, first breath
Of wintry wind . . . look up, and scent
The snow!
Anguish
Keep thou
Thy tearless watch
All night but when blue-dawn
Breathes on the silver moon, then weep!
Then weep!
Trapped
Well and
If day on day
Follows and weary year
On year . . . and ever days and years . . .
Well?
The Guarded Wound
If it
Were lighter touch
Than petal of flower resting
On grass, oh still too heavy it were,
Too heavy!
TRIAD
These be
Three silent things:
The falling snow... the hour
Before the dawn... the mouth of one
Just dead.
Tree
Sturdy, Tall
Climbing, swinging, playing
Fun among the branches
Maple
