Classic Poem

I HEARD him faintly, far away,
( Break! Break! — Break! Break! )
Calling to the dawn of day,
" Break! Break! "

I heard him in the yellow morn
( Shake! Shake! — Shake! Shake! )
Shouting thro' the rustling corn,
" Shake! Shake! "

I heard him near where one lay dead
( Ache! Ache! )
Crying among poppies red,
" Ache! Ache! — Ache! Ache! "

And where a solemn yew-tree waves
( Wake! Wake! )
All night he shouts among the graves,
" Wake! Wake! — Wake! Wake! "
