English Poetry. Stephen Crane. Many red devils ran from my heart. Стивен Крейн.

Stephen Crane (Стивен Крейн)

* * *

Many red devils ran from my heart
And out upon the page,
They were so tiny
The pen could mash them.
And many struggled in the ink.
It was strange
To write in this red muck
Of things from my heart.

Stephen Crane’s other poems:

1. With eye and with gesture
2. The ocean said to me once
3. Tell brave deeds of war
4. Once I saw mountains angry
5. There was a man who lived a life of fire
