Should The Wide World Roll Away Poem by Stephen Crane

Should The Wide World Roll Away

Rating: ★2.7


X
Should the wide world roll away
Leaving black terror
Limitless night,
Nor God, nor man, nor place to stand
Would be to me essential
If thou and thy white arms were there
And the fall to doom a long way.
