It Would poem – Alice Notley

it would be that

but only if I knew how

again

Could something like

that get lost? no only

a little a little lost

but if only I remember

how I mean she or I

oh a freight train goes by

& they always do & did

do

I mean a real one too

that I’m not on & am it

very seriously

in this serious love world

that one

where something oddly music

will pass through your

night

and it will be me

sweet me.

• Robert Burns: Halloween: The following poem will, by many readers, be well enough understood; but for the sake of those who are unacquainted with the manners and traditions of the country where the scene is cast, notes are added to give some account of the principal charms and spells of that night, so big with prophecy to the peasantry in the west of Scotland. The passion of prying into futurity makes a striking part of the history of human nature in its rude state, in all ages and nations; and it may be some entertainment to a philosophic mind, if any such honour the author with a perusal, to see the remains of it among the more unenlightened in our own.-R.B. by Robert Burns
