3. Objector - written by William Stafford
Read 971 times on American Poems.
In line at lunch I cross my fork and spoon
to ward off complicity--the ordered life

Who carved this shattered harp on my stone?
I died to you, no doubt. But how many harps and pianos
Wired I and tightened and disentangled for you,
Making them sweet again -- with tuning fork or without?
Oh well! A harp leaps out of the ear of a... (Read full poem)

Seven thousand acres of grass have faded yellow

And Red Horse Gulch and the chutes of Cripple Creek.
Red-shirted miners picking in the sluices,
Gamblers with red neckties in the night streets,
The fly-by-night towns of Bull Frog and Skiddoo,
The night-cool... (Read full poem)

Published in 1955.

The Road to Paradise is plain,
And holds scarce one.

Not me -- nor you --
But unsuspected things --
Mines have no Wings.(Read full poem)

There is a fork in a branch
of an ancient, enormous maple,
one of a grove of such trees,
where I climb sometimes and sit and look out

Today on skis I took a friend
to show her the trees. We set out
down the road,... (Read full poem)

This is the year the old ones,
the old great ones
leave us alone on the road.
The road leads to the sea.

obscure directions. The old ones
have taken away the light of their presence,
we see it moving away... (Read full poem)

I, too, would ease my old car to a stop
on the side of some country road

Down the roadway in the dusk,
Where shapes of hunger wander
And the fugitives of pain go by.

See the night slur into dawn,
Hear the slow great winds arise
Where tall trees flank... (Read full poem)

There was one I met upon the road
Who looked at me with kind eyes.

He said, "It is a sin."
Then held I forth another;
He said,... (Read full poem)

Through the shine, through the rain
We have shared the day’s load;
To the old march again
We have tramped the long road;

And we’ve trod the... (Read full poem)

along the valley floor,
going the way it must.
Where water goes, so goes the road,

A Minstrel stands on a marble stair,
Blown by the bright wind, debonair;

The minstrel plucks at his... (Read full poem)

All day stuffing your belly,
Burying your heart
In grass and... (Read full poem)
