Large Echoes Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Large echoes
Of echoing caves and
Caverns
Sentinels of night
Waiting with throbbing heart
For the red dusk
To signal night for you

Ah! night dark night covers
From human ears so often
Your jocose laughs
Of the old ancient giants
And
Of the waning fires
Of
The soft heavens.


Be not cruel, night
The earth needs pity
Hear!
The caves and caverns
Are echoing
Like playing lambs
Frisking
And
Bellowing:
Would be
The same for humans,
Us!
