John Berryman - Dream Song 1: Huffy Henry hid the day

Huffy Henry hid the day, br unappeasable Henry sulked. br I see his point,—a trying to put things over. br It was the thought that they thought br they could do it made Henry wicked & away. br But he should have come out and talked. br br All the world like a woolen lover br once did seem on Henry's side. br Then came a departure. br Thereafter nothing fell out as it might or ought. br I don't see how Henry, pried br open for all the world to see, survived. br br What he has now to say is a long br wonder the world can bear & be. br Once in a sycamore I was glad br all at the top, and I sang. br Hard on the land wears the strong sea br and empty grows every bed.
